You are right that the pre-inst script does have code to help prevent bad
things. I wasn't aware of that, so thank you for bringing it up. However,
it is a separate issue in that it doesn't relate to the m68k.mk changes
that we were discussing (or to the build failure). But we might as well
take advantage of this script before you upload anything, so I'll send a
patch for the script.
