m68k isn't fully maintained upstream at GCC. The listed maintainers are Jeff
Law (who is really mostly busy doing other things), and Andreas Schwab (who
does his best, but is not really able to keep up with the high demands of the
port by himself). It has a lot of code which needs to be updated to current
GCC standards and is therefore notoriously irritating to debug.
I doubt that it's reasonable to maintain a port to m68k under these
conditions.
