You asked the same question just two days ago. Why do you ask again?

Thanks.

EASE.ppc.rpm",

No, wrong. "*.ppc.rpm" indicates a "standard" RPM from some Linux
distribution, like a Fedora Core PowerPC RPM. Such an RPM will NOT
run on your MPC8xx system, and your ppc_8xx created RPM will not run
on a Fedora Core PowerPC system. Differences are caused for example
by support for a FPU and adjustment for different cache line sizes.
To avoid confusion, MPC8xx specific RPMs are created using a special
name which makes clear that they are compatible with the ELDK RPMs,
but not with other PowerPC RPMs.

Native rpmbuild and cross rpmbuild are compatible with each other,
but not with RPMs from other PowerPC Linux distributions.
