What kind of tests? I built an mcm-buildall.sh toolchain set and all the mkroot
targets with it and booted 'em to a shell prompt shortly after m68k went in. I
can do that again. But I'm not running a whole lot of test loads under the
result yet...

I added an m68k target to mcm-buildall.sh a _month_ ago, on the assumption that
a release with m68k was forthcoming:

The build has been broken for anything but musl-git ever since. (Also, should I
stop testing gcc 7.2? Is there a reason the default hasn't updated?)
