Hmm.  Really?  The stock binutils 2.9.1 seems to have an m68k-aout target
(and has built a cross compiler for me.. dunno if it works).  Or is there
something else that's been changed?  I would love to setup a cross
compiler on FreeBSD, but I'm not sure how to proceed (what files to setup
and where, and what knobs to tweak...).
