I just did a 'debian/rules binary' in 'gcc-m68k-linux-2.8.1' after
changing 'm68k' to 'sparc', and I get a build error. Looks like the gcc
buildstrap isn't working.

./xgcc -B./ -DCROSS_COMPILE -DIN_GCC    -O2 -I./include  -I. -I. \
-I./config  -g0 \
  -finhibit-size-directive -fno-inline-functions -fno-exceptions  \
  -c ./crtstuff.c -DCRT_BEGIN -o crtbegin.o
as: option `-s' is ambiguous
make[1]: *** [crtbegin.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `gcc-m68k-linux-2.8.1'
make: *** [build] Error 2

I get the exact same error if I use dpkg-buildpackage. I don't know enough
about building gcc to know what's wrong. And this is the source package
from ftp.ca.debian.org (us.debian.org not responding to me through lynx
for some reason)

I also found out I need the binutils-m68k-linux package, and that's being
downloaded as I type..
