I'll repeat the plug for the Unix Amiga Emulator projects'
68000/68020/68881 simulator. http://www.freiburg.linux.de/~uae/
I talked to the author/maintainer, Bernd Schmidt, about using it in GDB
a while ago. He expect no problems. It is GPL'ed. It is not the most
complete 68k simulator in the world, but he expected that it would
handle gcc-generated code OK. It has been appropriated by several
other projects as a generic CPU simulator in the past.
I don't have time to pursue this any further right now, but that looks
like a very good avenue to pursue if someone wanted to pull in a 68k
simulator.
