 IIRC this was used: 
  
 - as cross compiler to build the bootloaders and other native 
   utilities (though probably only for TOS, not MiNT?) 
   €€€ using the dpkg arch to fit into the usual cross-toolchain 
     creation system 
 - as dpkg natively on FreeMiNT 
  
 Not sure whether the latter has received any attention. When 
 I last used it, about a decade ago, it could use some, but it 
 generally was usable. 
  
 Perhaps someone here or on the wider m68k-linux channels has 
 any input? 
  
 bye,

 How's that for dedication. -- Wouter, about my Debian/m68k revival
