Do you remember some earlier discussion about the m68k Makefile and old
GCC versions?  In particular, lines like:

cpuflags-$(CONFIG_M525x)        := $(call cc-option,-mcpu=5253,-m5200)
cpuflags-$(CONFIG_M5249)        := $(call cc-option,-mcpu=5249,-m5200)
cpuflags-$(CONFIG_M520x)        := $(call cc-option,-mcpu=5208,-m5200)
cpuflags-$(CONFIG_M5206e)       := $(call cc-option,-mcpu=5206e,-m5200)
cpuflags-$(CONFIG_M5206)        := $(call cc-option,-mcpu=5206,-m5200)

The problem is that whether MULU.L exists depends on the targeted
architecture, and *that* depends on this Makefile trickery, not
just CONFIG symbols...

Oh, f*** me.


I misremembered.  That problem exists, but only for DIVU.L.  As I said in
the comments (which I wrote *after* deciding I needed this approach), all
ColdFire have MULU.L.  It's DIVU.L that's missing from some early ones.

You're absolutely right.  MULU.L support can be done perfectly from
CONFIG_ options.


Improved patch coming in a few minutes.  My sincere apologies.
