Yeah, it seems likely that no one has built an m68k cross toolchain
in the intervening time. ;-(

I'm investigating. The first problem seems to be the choice of
pcc_struct_return as the default. GCC doesn't use that, whether
for native or cross. After that, I'm suspecting that we still
need stack_align. One changelog entry says that you replaced
stack_align with gdbarch_parm_boundary -- the trouble is that
they aren't the same thing.
