Thanks for the information. Actually wanted to validate my assumptions and to make it doubly sure that i can look  for support from the list.

Thanks

The MPC880 is just  another  member  of  the  MPC8xx  family.  It  is
supported by the ppc_8xx packages in the ELDK.

See http://www.denx.de/ELDK.html

I think your question is wrong. You don't need a new or special Linux
distribution for each new processor. What you need is  processor  and
board  support in U-Boot and the Linux kernel - but this is obviously
board dependent.

Tey are just like all the other 8xx processors.

Best regards,
