I think you definitely need to re-do gcc and the binutils as otherwise
you can't generate m68k output. gcc gets configured for a certain kind of
output when you build it, so to change the output type, you need a new
gcc. I think you will also need the include files as otherwise
Emacs might not be able to configure itself for use under NetBSD.

Good luck!
