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.
