1) Yes, gcc generates code for the entire m68k family including a bare
   68000. (use -m68000 to generate code for it).
2) What do you mean by "how fully does GCC support it"?  GCC does
   support C++, floating point, generates dbra instructions, etc.
3) What do you mean by "all the options of gcc supported"?

I think GCC will do what you want, but RingTFM should answer all your
questions.
