if you want test netsurf for 68k you can use AROS 68k maybe in some time.But 
only if you not use the
OS4 reaction GUI.

Because Reaction is closed source and come many years after MUI for amiga OS 
3.5 and because
reaction miss lots
features (at least on 68k) most programs use MUI GUI, because it offer nicer 
look and more features
as Reaction.

netsurf MUI GUI was do from itix.But it does now not work, because of lots 
changes in netsurf.

for the OWB Web browser is the MOS Version with MUI port to OS4 too.

AROS 68k miss currently FPU task switch support is miss, and there is no 16 or 
32 bit
screenmode.only 24 bit and 8 bit screenmode.but AROS 68k build grow very fast 
because it seem
planed to release a new 68k Hardware (Natami) in some time.

Artur test netsurf 68k on AROS 68k some days ago, it start but then come a 
error no 32 bit or 16 bit
screenmode find.and 24 bit do netsurf sdl not support.
 
but when there is a 32 bit or 16 bit screenmode and FPU, you can use amiga 68k 
AROS.I can post if
that happen here.

or you use X86 or ARM AROS for test and compile later to 68k.

Because Amiga OS3 is the only amiga OS target that is in the GCC main compiler 
source you can very
easy build your compiler self, by download GCC sources, for your prefered linux 
if you need a newer
version.

binutil is old, here amiga target is remove in mainsource, but because its only 
a assembler and
linker this doesnt matter.
all GCC can work with that.

clib2 does not work good, it miss lots functions.
the most advanced and fastest (because of memory alloc speed and filesystem) is 
ixemul.library
this is used for the netsurf SDL build.
