The Mac CVS is at 2.2.16 and should include all patches for other m68k
archs that were included with the Debian potato source, including for
MVME boxes. I did the patching and I'm pretty sure I got everything.
It has only been tested on Macs so far though. I'll be trying it on my
Amiga's shortly and I also have an HP9000/3xx I'll be trying it on
also. I built it with GCC 2.95.2.
