Yes, it is poossible. You will need more than one command,  at  least
"vi" and "ppc_82xx-gcc".

Yes, you will most probably need a linker script.

One of the most important requirements is an  in-depth  understanding
of your hardware environment and how to write software for it.

U-Boot includes all the init stuff you will probably  re-0invent,  so
feel  free  to  copy  and  re-use  this  code  (and make your program
available under GPL), but please understand that you are on your  own
with such a project.

Sorry, but this is off topic here.

Best regards,
