Please no! :-)
The Palm OS port (we hope to have remote-palmos.c in a state in which
it might be acceptable for submission sometime soonish) uses m68k, and
represents some number of tens of thousands of users. I imagine there
are other m68k users too.

multi-arch howto and volunteer to fix it. But it might take me a

I sent a request-assign.future for binutils and GDB (with the email
address jmarshall@acm.org) to fsf-records on 2001-12-18. How long
