[PATCH] powerpc: e500: Fix compilation with gcc e500 compiler

gcc e500 compiler does not support -mcpu=powerpc option. When it is
specified then gcc throws compile error:

  gcc: error: unrecognized argument in option ‘-mcpu=powerpc’
  gcc: note: valid arguments to ‘-mcpu=’ are: 8540 8548 native

So do not set -mcpu=powerpc option when CONFIG_E500 is set. Correct option
-mcpu=8540 for CONFIG_E500 is set few lines below in that Makefile.
