That's where I upload my stuff for testing by the other m68k
maintainers, and I keep the current diff with it in case my build system
headcrashes or burns or something similar.

I'm not. I don't know how high volume that list is, but I'd prefer
to stay off any further high volume list. linux-m68k, linux-mac68k,
debian-68k, m68k-build are quite enough. And I'd like to counter the
apparent misconception that I'm 'the m68k boot-floppies guy'. By the
time the next release comes around, I'm going to be without the fast
Mac I build on this time, and my Falcon just doesn't cut it (if it
survives that long).

It is, but it's a rather lengthy section, hence the idea to separate
it off. Can't think of any other new file added except for the bootargs,
which I could write from a shell script.

Sorry, I don't get that. What localization settings do affect the Makefile?
