[ELDK] Cross-compiling Linux kernel - unrecognized Opcode

[Qasim Maqbool]

Hi Detlev,

Yes I realize that mistake. I was updating binutils at the host instead of
in the toolchain.
Just a couple of things then:

I intend to compile Linux for MPC 8544, so will the ELDK 5.3 for target
e500v2 work for this?
And also, is there any dependency on the host kernel version?

Thanks,
Qasim
