You don't have to cross-build anything; you can just use the existing
ISO images for installation. For Debian Woody you can find a detailed
description   (thanks   to    bernhard    Kuhn    for    this!)    at
http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/DULG/DebianOnPowerpcInstallationHowto

In the meantime we swithched to using Ubuntu Linux on the  5200,  but
here  installation  is  a  bit  more  complicated as you will have to
twiddle with  the  installation  ramdisk  image,  and  later  perform
certain  steps  manually. It's probably easier to copy the filesystem
from a "real" PowerPC system ;-)
