Thank you very much for this response and also for your other post referencing

It is indeed Mach-O and extremely similar to Darwin.  In fact I used the Darwin 
configuration files as a reference for modifying the nextstep configuration 
files between the original gcc-2.5, gcc-3.2 and gcc-4.6.  It was extremely 
helpful in helping me figure out what to do.  I also spent a considerable 
amount of time trying to find some references to recent ports of gcc to m68k 
and was able to locate the Debain port and some unofficial mint ports.  Mint 
brings back many memories, as I spent many years on an Atari ST before I 
acquired my NeXT.

Very interesting that you mention this.  I sifted through the mint config files 
before jumping into the 4.6 attempt, and reviewed them again once I started 
having the ICE problem.  More specifically, I was researching the 
"DWARF2_UNWIND_INFO 0" macro in the mint.h configuration file.  Having read 
your posts I just decided to just try it and see what happens.  Unfortunately I 
will not know for at least 12 hours what the outcome is :-).  Yes, just the 
genattrtab takes over 9.5 hours to execute on a 33 MHz 68040.  It is an 
exercise in patience and a humbling reminder of the years gone by.

Thank you again!
