Indeed, gcc-3.2.3 was the last version with m68k-*-nextstep configuration files but it would not build on NEXTSTEP or OPENSTEP because of NeXT header file idiosyncrasies choking the pre-processor.
I have been working on reintegrating revised nextstep configuration files back into the gcc source and was able to build gcc-3.4.6 and now am trying gcc-4.6.3. I am hoping that a modern compiler will somewhat reinvigorate the interest in the platform...
My other desire is to refresh the NeXT c library to a somewhat more modern configuration. For anyone interested, here is a good summary of my struggles: http://www.nextcomputers.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2980
This is really just a learning experience for me and I am very humbled by help from real software developers.
