Multilib is a feature of gcc that lets you compile for multiple architectures with one binary e.g. x86/x86_64, or even x86/ppc (I think) Newlib is a C library, replacing glibc or µclibc > Do I need to do a specific gcc build for m68k (I'm assuming yes, but > confirmation would be nice!). Most definitely. You need gcc to compile a static gcc that compiles code for m68k on your architecture. And maybe including a m68k version of gcc (only runs on m68k) > I assume I also need to build binutils for m68k too? Most definitely again. That's the second thing you put in your toolchain, after kernel headers. You compile gcc against that.
