Actually gcc requires only some changes to build libgcc.a correctly to
use lb1sf68.asm (check t-m68kbare to get an idea for the needed
changes).

BTW the most recent version is integrated into 2.4.

LC060 should be no problem, I did some testing with the 060 (as one can
turn of the fpu here). But the BSD emulator had some changes for the
040, but I didn't made them for my version (I never had a 040 for
testing).
