Namely? I only saw some visible changes with the linker and the search
paths.

By the way, gcc has the option -fpic to produce address independant code.
Is this fully supported for the m68k in 2.7.2.3? I tried to produce a
object file with this, but only got some internal errors when cc1 was
invoked. Bug in port?
Would be a nice feature.
