Cross-Compilation PC Host -> m68k target

Hello all,

I've asked part of this question before, but I'm now looking for more
help.

I understand from the author of djgpp that I can retrieve its sources,
configure them to produce code for a 68k, and then use djgpp in its
'native' mode to produce the cross-compiler.  Can anyone give me
pointers to the following:

	1.  Has anyone done this before!!  It would be a _lot_ easier
	if I could just pick up the finished product;

	2.  If I have to do it myself, what will be the situation with
	library code, particularly stdio??  The code will run on a 68k
	single board computer, and I want standard output redisrected
	to a serial port which is connected to the PC (I will have a
	terminal emulator running on the PC).  I presume this will
	involve rewriting substantial parts of stdio...

	3.  I would like to be able to do source level debugging of
	the code running on the 68k.  Would gdb be able to do this, or
	(more likely) what mods would be needed to make gdb do this?

My main hope is that someone can answer 1. in the affirmative, 'cos
otherwise this is looking like a lot of work, and I don't have the
time necessary.  I may have to (perish the thought) use a proprietary
cross-compiler!!!!!!   Which does beg another question -- have any of
the GNU support organisations (cygnus is the only one I know of)
produced anything I could use??

All help is greatly apprecited; I will summarise, and if I do make the
djgpp mods, I will make them available (otherwise I'd be breaking the
law, of course ;-)).

Much thanks,
Peter Duffy
