Re: Has anyone successfully bootstrapped gcc-4.6.3 on m68k?

Yes, but those only matter to the kernels.

Hm.
So, distinguished m68k and coldfire userspace ports? The really “nice”
thing that went through peoples’ minds was “let’s use those fast CF
to build binaries, as our Atari/Amiga/Mac68k machines can’t keep up”.
But then, people question that anyway. Heck, people question anything
that’s not Linux/amd64, these days (see Poettering).
The decision is not mine to make. (In fact. I’m still more involved
in Debian/m68k than I wanted, with less support than I asked for.
But please don’t follow up to this parenthesised comment, it’s moot.)
