m68k fails to build with crosstool

[Steve Papacharalambous]

Hi Peter,

It looks like the version of binutils and autoconf on your build host 
are too old and need upgrading.

I had a similar problem and fixed it by upgrading binutils to 
binutils-2.15 and autoconf to autoconf-2.59,

Best regards,

Steve
