No, AFAIK not. There was free documentation for the Motorola MPC860 - at a
former employer, we implemented our own gdb backend for that, and there was
an open-source solution.

I would like to work on e300/e500 cores, but the debug interface seems to be
non-documented for practical purposes.

Yes - we use them at work. The Freescale P1010 is a really nice device.
