Is it possible -- and prudent -- to use a single kernel binary image
for two similar boards, one based on an e300 core and the other on an
e500v2 core?
I was surprised to see that the e500v2-targeted toolchain did build
the kernel for the e300 board just fine. Don't know whether this will
always

No, it is not possible. They use different MMUs, and the kernel does
not support choosing between them at runtime.

Thank you for that piece of info, Scott!
May I expand the question one bit, and ask whether the user-mode binaries
compiled for the e300 will generally work for the e500 -- or, vice versa? Is
one choice safer than the other?
I know for sure that we take a big hit on floating-point ops, but are
