Then you should know what you are doing... And not ask anything here :-)
If I compile and link my program it looks good, but if I execute the code it crashes !! Ok I debug and find out that the compiler generate wrong opcodes but I compile and create everything with the same cpu option ( mcpu=603e ). So what kind of problem is this ... has anyone else similar effects ?
Is there a specific non-default multilib version triggered with the
'-mcpu=603e' option? Or should the default code ('-mcpu=common') be
fully compatible with your
603e ? The GCC 3.4 manual tells about this default code :
‘-mcpu=common’ selects a completely generic processor. Code generated under
this option will run on any POWER or PowerPC processor. GCC will use
only the instructions in the common subset of both architectures, and
will not
use the MQ register. GCC assumes a generic processor model for scheduling
purposes.

Of course there should be a newlib variation compiled with the same
'-mcpu=603e', or mixing code produced with the '-cpu=common' with code
made with this
option should work... What if you don't use the '-mcpu=603e', but use
the default, does the executable then crash?
Maybe you should change the GCC config settings and put the '-mcpu=603e'
to trigger creating a special set of libraries for this option, then
your 'lib' directory
would have for instance a 'm603e' subdir and in it everything compiled
with this option, and being linked when using this option on the GCC
command line.
Simply said a new multilib made for this case...
