That linuxspe compiler you mean.  Sure, why not, the more the merrier,
as long as it doesn't get in the way of other stuff, I won't protest.

But please don't confuse people: you are talking about a
powerpc-linuxspe compiler, not e500, which is supported just fine by
current GCC trunk still, and does not have such limitations :-)
