gcc4 has been imported to -current, so I assume that compiling with
-mcfxxxx is supported.

for the v4 cores, pmap would have to be rewritten for v4 MMU, and FPU
handling is quite different (64bit vs 80bit)...

coldfire is missing a load of addressing modes earlier 68k chips had; I
don't know if freescale offers an invalid instruction trap handler that
gives binary compatibility -- that might be the first step...

how are the coldfire cores being wedged into amiga anyway?  (I know
nothing of the architecture... only CPU32, really.)
