I'm using 'make menuconfig' to configure the build, and the options presented for this do not include a specific one for the 8548,  there is an 8540 and there is an e500mc (the 8548 has the e500 core)...

Use 8540 since it's the same core.
That said you probably want to use an external toolchain like that built
by CT-NG to enjoy the SPE ABI.
