M68k assembler under cygwin

["Bruce Adams" <bruadams at tycoint dot com>]

Hi,
   I am trying to assemble some existing m68k assembler code under gcc.  I
have for the time being suspended my attempts to build a cross that works
from cygwin and opted to use the prebuilt rtems compiler until I can get
our existing codebase and especially the assembly to build & link.  (No
point
trying to use gcc 3.2 and the STL if I can't do that).  
Ideally I want a cygwin to m68k-elf or m68k-nucleus if such a thing exists.
  Anyway the assembly code itself is basically sound.  It can be made to
work with Crosscode ASM68000, Green Hills & Metrowerks Code Warrior, though
I have had issues trying to get it working with the stricter Microtec
compiler.
  I have several problems with gcc.  Firstly it reports errors relative 
to positions in a temporary file rather than the original file.  
Worse it does not seem to recognise much of the assembler I feel it should.
For example EQU directives like:

sf_BOOTROM_COMPATIBILTY equ   2          

Example output follows:

Any idea what could be going wrong?
