The only reason I am asking is because we're currently in a situation
where we need external help. We are trying to be as cost-effective
as possible and I myself have paid for a lot of things myself, that
includes hardware and hosting them.
However, in order to solve this particular problem, we need a little
more money to succeed which is why I was asking for a single-time
donation.
Either way, we have already collected 26 donations totaling 1800
US-Dollars now [1], so I'm confident that with a little more help
from the community, we'll be able to save the m68k backend in gcc.

Adrian
