Well, not sure when you tried it, what distro etc but the ppc405 targets in OE
work :)

Infact i am giving a presentation today at the Power.org developer conference in
Austin on powerpc/OE

As we needed a stable tree for our devices/projects we have our distro called
OPLinux and OPlinux-uclibc with gcc 4.1.1 glibc 2.5 or uclibc 0.9.28
We push the changes back to OE on a regular bases and recently provided Koen
with a 405 board so he can do more test on Angstrom which uses newer versions
of gcc/uclibc.
If you (or any other) want a copy of what we use just let me know.
