The term "BSP" (Board Support Package) is not used much in linux-land.
By BSP you are probably referring to a boot program (bootrom) and a
linux configuration (kernel/drivers).
For a bootrom, I recommend u-boot. There are several 8260 boards in the
standard u-boot repository that you can start from and customize for
your board.
If you go this route, you will want to subscribe to the u-boot-users list
https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/u-boot-users

Right from the comfort of your own linux computer! (Developing under
Windows/cygwin/colinux is possible, but everything is between five times
more difficult and infinitely more difficult. NOT recommended!)

I would recommend downloading and installing ELDK from Denx. It is a
reliable and painless cross compiler (THANKS, Wolfgang & Co.!)
ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/eldk/4.2/ppc-linux-x86/
in particular:
