Hmmm, I don't think that libgloss was always broken.  But it sure
appears to be now.  Seems like not too long ago, m68k built without a
hitch.

Anyway, you could just throw in stubs for _exit, sbrk, kill and getpid
to get around the unresolved symbols.  Yes, those would be provided by
an OS or reasonable facsimile thereof.  Completely unnecessary unless
you need them.

I don't get the EH_FRAME_BEGIN thing yet, though.  What happens if
your test module has:

void __main(void){}

(two underscores) in it?

Also, try invoking your m68k-*-gcc with a -v option, and study the output
carefully.
