I have now built a gcc-m68k-linux package by installilng an libc-m68k-cross
and an libc-dev-m68k-cross created by dpkg-cross before building gcc. What 
I had to do to get it working was:

  - Change crossbase in /etc/dpkg/cross-compile from /usr/local to /usr. Why
    is this defaulting to /usr/local? Don't we want cross-compilers in /usr?

  - Patch dh_shlibdeps not to pass files to dpkg-shlibsgen that were not in
    the native format (included below). dpkg-cross contains some replacement
    dpkg-shlibsgen that I think should be used instead. Anyone know how to 
    thatone not to deafult back to dpkg-shlibsgen.orig? Will it work in this
    kind of mixed environ where we have some native binaries and some corss
    libraries?

I will update the docs and rerelease.
