if you compile gnu make first and use it instead of the bsd
implementation, you can easily compile egcs on NetBSD Mac68k. egcs is
the compiler suite that is much more up to date than the current
releases of gcc, and includes such languages as fortran.
warning, it's big, and takes around 24 hours to compile on your
average IIci with lotsa memory.
