The documentation that comes with gcc, binutils, and gas, do have discussions
of how to set up a cross environment.

So briefly:
assuming that there is a 'gcc' directory at some 'root point'. 

1) create a 'gcc-m68k' directory, change to that directory and perform
'../gcc/configure --host=sun4os4 --target=sun3os4' configuration operation.
(the sun3os4 option will generate a compiler that generates m68000 code and
assumes 'gas/sun as' assembler, and 'ld/gnu-ld' output).

2) go through the make operations.

3) get 'binutils-2.0' and create a 'ld-m68k', install it in
'...../lib/gcc-lib/sun3os4/2.3.2/ld', so that it may be called by the cross
compiler.

4) go through a similar exercise for 'gas'.

5) Oddly on a sun4, one can use some of the native tools to manipulate the
68k *.o's, since the 'ar' and 'nm' function just read symbol info they seem to
be usable for these simple purposes.
