The GNU folks are looking to discontinue support for the m88k toolchain in 
gcc 3.4 (see http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-announce/2003/msg00001.html), and I 
think they are purging it out of the 3.3 source tree.  It's no longer listed 
as a supported platform at http://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html. 

Probably be tough to maintain a port if the toolchains are drifting...
