Stuart,
This is going to be fun... :-)
Two things to consider:
(1) PQ2FADS_20041214-3.0
The original Freescale BSP for the mcp82xx family. This BSP was used
with the "Package Creation Suite" to build a 2.4.24 kernel.
I have in hand the kernel source and a working config file.
(2) MPC8272ADS_K26
This Freescale BSP, written for a different mcp82xx family member, has a
slightly newer tool chain
gcc-3.4.3-glibc-2.3.3.tar.gz
that should work with any chip with a 603e core.
-Joseph
