Weird.  I have no local patches to add m68k-elf to binutils 2.9.1  Just
to test. I unpacked binutils 2.9.1 from the original source and configured
it for m68k-elf on a Linux computer.  What is going wrong for you?

David Fiddes maintains a fabulous site on ColdFire and MC68xxx embedded
development.  It is at http://www.calm.hw.ac.uk/davidf/coldfire/ and is a
good place to look for patches.  But I don't think you have to have any to
configure binutils 2.9.1 for m68k-elf or ColdFire.
