Cross-compiling ideas arise from time to time. So far, all attempts to do so
were put down. And looking at
http://www.buildd.net/buildd/Needs-Build_stats.png it's not m68k you should
care about. M68k is performing quite well considering all the wasted build
cycles by buggy uploads and the pressure of the upcoming release.
M68k is in a good shape from my point of view. We still have some spare
machines that can be activated in the long run. And personally I think,
cross compiling will just introduce another possible point of failure...
