well, it comes to mind that although it can be seen as rather crufty, you
could do as Phil does, and come up with a set of patches/confs for 2.5.8 and
drop them in arch/m68k/2.5.8, or something. (or rolling ones for each port
would work better...)

to which release, after 1.0, would be it possible for you to actually
incorporate 2.5.8? it *is* a much better compiler, especially for m68k.
