Description
In order for me to be able to run libcore tests in m68k, it seems like I'll need libc to support this architecture.
Here's one place where such support will need to be added..
It will also need to support the other architectures supported by gcc for it to work on those platforms.

Research direction
Start in src/unix/linux_like/linux/arch, the location identified for architecture support, and compare the existing architecture coverage with m68k and the other GCC-supported targets. Run the libcore tests for m68k as support is added; done means those tests can run on m68k and the requested GCC architectures have libc support.
