We might also want to consider removing:
        m68*-rom68k-*
        m68*-*bug-*

They all build, in fact they are all aliases to the generic embedded
m68k target.  If I recall corectly, these targets exist because back
in the pre-libgloss BSP days, newlib contained code for eval boards
with these ROM monitors so an entire separate toolchain (including
compiler, binutils, gdb, etc.) was built when only a tiny bit of code
was different.  

These are other aliases that don't make sense today:
        m68*-monitor-*
        m68*-est-*

        --jtc
