Hi Andrew,

Thank you for the post. I did a search for "m68k" in the NSPR source
tree. I believe you are referring to this m68k case in the
configure.in script:

1859     m68k)
1860         CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -m68020-60"
1861         CXXFLAGS="$CXXFLAGS -m68020-60"
1862         ;;

The revision history shows this was added in 1999 and 2002:

https://hg.mozilla.org/projects/nspr/rev/29227fdc9a15
https://hg.mozilla.org/projects/nspr/rev/879b717836d9

I think we should just delete the m68k case from the configure.in
script. Agreed?
