I use a mostly stripped down GENERIC, but no change to CPU flags.
So yes, it is built with -m68020-60.

I don't think so. But it doesn't emulate caches and the TLB works
differently.


Saying that, after a few hours idling in multi-user, the system
paniced with an uvm_fault followed by an illegal instruction
trap. Neither looked real in DDB.

I'll have to retry this with a gcc7-built kernel, it could be
some other m68k instability introduced in -current.
