We tried by enabling CONFIG_E500_V2_V2 for E500MC with u-boot patches. 
It boots fine and debugging can be done.

So, we can use CONFIG_E500 #define instead of CONFIG_E500_V2_V2 i.e. 
debugging will always be enabled. One have to define 
CONFIG_DEBUGGER_TEMP_TLB  for debugging in AS1 ( Part of patch 
"powerpc/85xx:Update NOR code base to support debugger" )

CONFIG_DEBUGGER_TEMP_TLB can also be used for placing code which can 
only be required during debugging (specially code of temporary TLB 
creation)

Please suggest.

Prabhakar
