For reference, I found the files auxvec.h, device.h, emergency-restart.h,
futex.h, ioctl.h, irq_regs.h, kdebug.h, mutex.h and topology.h to be
entirely identical, so you may remove the m68knommu variants with your
approach.

Does this work with the exported headers? I guess it should if you
always use the m68k exports for m68knommu as well, but if that's
possible is is a question you haven't answered yet.

Right now, you would remove the following exported headers from m68knommu:
auxvec.h, errno.h, fcntl.h, ioctl.h, ioctls.h, ipcbuf.h, mman.h, msgbuf.h,
poll.h, posix_types.h, resource.h, sembuf.h, shmbuf.h, socket.h, stat.h,
statfs.h, termbits.h.

If you don't want to use the m68k exports on m68knomu, you'd also have
to duplicate all these.
