Looks like for the moment you'll need to use m68k-elf.

The file m68klinux-nat.c should only contain stuff for a native build 
(eg ptrace interface).  The OS dependant, but not specific to native, is 
typically put in a file like m68k-linux-tdep.c.  cf m68knbsd-tdep.c. 
Patches against mainline welcome (do you have an FSF assignment?).

It should also be noted that GDB's mainline m68k was recently 
multi-arched so while the m68k-elf should be ok, I'm not sure what the 
state of m68k-linux-gnu is.

Would you be able to create abug report to track this:

You'll need to config/compile it using a cross compiler 
(m68k-linux-gnu-gcc say).
