I'm interested in seeing what I can do here.  I'm going to be tied up
quite a bit for the next few weeks, but I'll aim to look at the
Retro68 toolchain in more detail and see how much progress I can make.
I ported the gcc toolchain a few years back to a custom ISA I
designed, so I'm fairly comfortable translating those skills to a
fairly complex cross-build effort.  I'll open up a new thread when
there's something to report.  In the meantime, if anyone has any
suggestions or things I should be wary of, feel free to contact me
directly.

Thanks,
