Hmmm. Lemme see...

OK, gcc is clearly at fault here (IMHO). So it's the responsibility of the
gcc build script to fix those.

Eg.:
- CT_ARCH_ARCH can take any value acceptable by -march
- the build script mangles that value to build a value suitable for
  --with-arch

That's the idea... But I'm no m68k expert, here...
