I'm sure jklos@ can correct me if I'm mistaken :-p but in general
pkgsrc builds share packages across all m68k platforms. If there was
sufficient additional compute available it is more likely we would
split builds by processor - eg '020 vs '040.

There are differences mainly in /usr/include which will result in
small differences in generated binaries, but in general It Does Not
Matter which m68k platform was used to build the pkgsrc packages.

A potentially interesting task would be to reduce those differences
for most (if not all) m68k userlands - probably starting with merging
/usr/include and then onto moving the small set of port specific
binaries to be triggered on m68k rather than the specific port :-p
