So basically, there'd be several lines in the arch/powerpc/boot/Makefile
like this?

cflags-$(CONFIG_6xx) += -DCONFIG_6xx
cflags-$(CONFIG_8xx) += -DCONFIG_8xx
cflags-$(CONFIG_E500) += -DCONFIG_E500
BOOTCFLAGS += $(cflags-y)

I don't really see the point (a simple grep will show you all the config
dependencies in the bootwrapper, to verify that it's only platform stuff
and not actual options), but I can do it that way if you really want. 
One way or another, the information has to be there, and it has to be
compile-time or else the bd_info struct layout will be wrong.
