Thanks for your reply, I had read this article but it's a bit outdated. 
I've just successfully compiled (just compiled, not tested) the 8540 
toolchain *without* SPE support and now trying to make a SPE-enabled 
toolchain based on patches from ELDK 4.0 (http://denx.org). I've failed 
for several times, now the crosstool is still compiling on my debian server.

Here is a question somewhat off-topic: is SPE important to increase the 
performance of a MPC854X board which is used as a VPN gateway?
