Aha, I understood. I don't know meaning for "hangup" because I don't
use a dictionaly. I'm sorry.

Do you need how to update from source? I tried some methods but it is
easy and sure that a method updates from binary snapshot.

Secondry sure method is using a.out => elf cross compile with new
toolchain.

In port-m68k/15514, thorpej-san will work fine though I recognize some
problems around gnu toolchain.

# I have never done i386 => m68k cross compile. There is no large problem
# in self compile but trivial one exists.

In port-mac68k/15528, umm, I'm also going to analize.
