I don't think this is the only thing, however.
Notice that guile-1.6 has not built on m68k since 1.6.7-1.1. None of
the m68k porters have filed a bug, nor has the buildd team.
Moreover, it would be *entirely* reasonable for guile upstream to say
"I'm sorry, we don't support m68k and don't intend to."
There are a number of such language processors, not just the
GCC-related toolchain.
The m68k team will need to be the do-it-all porters of *all* such
toolchainy software, not just GCC. You'll need to work on guile and
scm, and plenty of other stuff.
Are you ready?
