That's pretty funny, as the m68k support has been depreciated from the
GNU toolchain due to lack of hardware. I still have the boards in those
target settings someplace, but they haven't been powered up in 20 years.
:-) Those m6k targets were some of the earliest in DejaGnu, and those
were added to test the "debug monitor" remote protocol in GDB.
