(In case I assumed too much: doko is the gcc maintainer.)

So, there simply is no gcc-4.5 package on m68k, only gcc-4.4 which
has "known good, but nobody works on it any more" state, gcc-4.6
which is the currently being worked on version, and gcc-4.7 which
nobody has really looked at it yet other than making sure it com-

manpower…
