enlarged the CPU selection logic to PPC32 by removing depend to
PPC64, and failed to restrict that depend to E5500_CPU and E6500_CPU.
Fortunately that got unnoticed because -mcpu=8540 will override the
-mcpu=e500mc64 or -mpcu=e6500 as they are ealier, but that's
fragile and may no be right in the future.
A later -mcpu= always overrides an earlier one.  This is the same as
with all other GCC option flags, and will not change in the future.
