Ok, does this mean that there is no primary and secondary target in GCC that 
covers PowerPC Book E with ELF and EABI?

If I change something in this area is there at least a well known tertiary target?

GCC is used for a lot of Freescale products in the embedded systems market. 
What is necessary to make e.g. powerpc-unknown-eabi a secondary target?
