If size is an issue for your distrib, have a look at uclibc [1],
busybox [2] (buildroot [3] and ptxdist [4] for configuring your final
system). When compared to MVL (configured with devrocket), you'll end
up with a much cleaner and smaller system (about half the size).
buildroot is a Makefile based system to setup your cross compilation
environment and creates your target FS.
ptxdist is a kconfig based all but the kitchen sinck approach, haven't
really checked it out but it looks really impressive, supports uclibc
and busybox (IIRC).
A very good general development environment can be found in ELDK [5].
Zhe bootloader is of course das U-Boot [6].
Unless you have very specific requirements, the normal kernel is as good
as a branched version:
$ make ARCH=ppc CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc-linux-
$ make ARCH=ppc CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_82xx-
If you are using GNU/Debian, there is a nice tutorial for creating the
cross packages [7].
Finally, do not overestimate the commercial support, to my experience;
the collaborative mailing lists are often as good if not better to point
you in the correct direction due to the diverse expertises of the ppl on
the list.
