 There are differences between the  '-elf' and the '-eabi'  ("Embedded 
ABI")  configurations so one should
know why one uses the '-elf' and not the '-eabi'.  Looking at 
'gcc/config.gcc' and the config templates for
them tells the differences between 'powerpc-*-elf' and 
'powerpc-*-eabi'.  For instance that the 'gcc/config/rs6000/eabi.h'
will be used to add/change some definitions upon the base '-elf' when 
using the '-eabi' target type....

 I checked and it wasn't, that '5' in the type maybe caused the false 
memory, the '8540' type then is one of
the special 'e500' SPE ones...
