It's usually a good idea to run gcc's configure in a different directory.

You're going to need first to build binutils (assembler, linker) for 68k
and you're going to need a C library from somewhere.  The binutils list
at binutils@sourceware.org will can help you with binutils and you
can get a C library from http://sourceware.org/newlib/.

If on your older m68k system you already have a C library, that will
help a great deal, as you won't have to build it.  But you'll still
have to build binutils first.
