It is probably internal to gcc.  Try adding -v to the failing gcc 
command line.  I would guess a bug in one of the various *SPEC macros in 
the gcc m68k port.

The m68k toolchain is not as well maintained as it used to be, but it 
should be possible to build a working m68k-elf toolchain with a bit of 
hacking.

2.91 is really old.  We stopped supporting it a long time ago.  We are 
at 3.3.1 now.  I'd suggest trying something newer.
