  Does the old crossgcc minimal-compiler-prebuild trick still work?

1.  Configure m68k-linux-gcc using "--enable-languages=c --with-newlib
--without-headers", then build it using "make all-gcc install-gcc"

  This gets you a minimal version of m68k-linux-gcc that comes with no
standard includes, no crt startup code and no standard library.  But you
have a working cc1.exe, which is what you need for step two....

2.  Use this compiler to build the library from source.  Then install it to
the standard cross location or to some convenient place of your choice.

3.  Reconfigure m68k-linux-gcc without using any of the above options, and
possibly using
"--with-headers=/path/to/just-built-and-installed-libc-headers" if they're
in a nonstandard place.

4.  "make all install" then gives you your full crosscompiler-plus-stdlib
installation.

    cheers,
