Yeah, it's pretty big.  But that's the only place you'll find the mac68k
additions.  It only takes about a day and half to compile, tho.

Why did you want to rebuild it, anyway?

I've got the sources, but I haven't tried to compile it yet.  Assuming
this is still mac68k, I have no idea how to change the CLUT (although
there might be an ioctl() for it, but I can't remember without the source 
in front of me). It'd only work if you had NuBus video (i.e. if you can 
run color X, then you can do it).  You might ask Michael Zucca or Paul
Goyette.  They would know more.

Later.
