Consider the following two facts:
1. binutils-2.17 removed m68k-coff support, that was 3.5 years ago
2. gcc-4.4's NEWS file lists m68k-coff as unmaintained and scheduled for
removal

Your best option is to target m68k-elf instead, as that's still supported.

If you absolutely must use coff, it's probably best to use older versions of
binutils and gcc from the time when it was still supported. binutils-2.16.1 and
gcc-3.4.6 might be a good starting point. You can't expect any upstream support
for these old versions, however.
