So it's not just about the support of some > obscure embedded dev board. e5500 is also used by NXP in their T1040 QorIQ network appliances I recompiled and ported most of Debian 8 packages to these boxes about three to four years ago. It went pretty smoth even if in some cases i had to patch some upstream source code because of inline ASM code or hardcoded compiler options in Makefiles. Hope fully it was very few software we were not using in network use case. Initial build hase been done using 5 dual cpu Powermac G5. Once it hase been proven working, and build chain boot strapped i recompiled a few thousands of packages using a Power 8 installed with the packages built on Macs So in some cases like mine it can be not about embeded boards or Amiga clones :) and i am still an Amiga lover and owner 30 years after :P Any ways i'll be happy to share and talk about this any days.
