Sorry, I don't know. We used built-in drivers for a long time on m68k and
since there is not a lot of new hardware coming out, we are not really
running out of space with the m68k kernels. I helped fixing some yaird
problems on m68k, but everything else is over my head. If you have patches
which improve the m68k situation, I could try building with them, but I
don't have too much time to test things.
BTW patches, what is the status with the mac patches/config? The last test
build I remember fixed a few problems on non quadra machines, but created
problems on my quadra, so I did not include the changes in the offical
debian package. Any progress on that? Sorry, I currently don't have enough
time to test this either.
