Yes.  Configure a recent snapshot for m68k-elf and all should be well.

Far more folks designing new systems are using ELF as the object format of
choice.  It's a more descriptive format and as a result fewer folks have had
the need to extend it in incompatible ways.

You also get to ride on the backs of a much larger user/developer base to
help keep the tools solid.  coff gets far less attention than ELF from a
development standpoint.
