Yes, indeed I'm interested.

It would be really good to have toolchain support in Fedora for the Cell 
architecture.
Right now we are initially trying to get libspe2 as a package into Fedora.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=442507

As soon as we have this package approved we may try to get others 
included as well. I'll talk with our maintainers and let you know about 
the results.
