Yes, my primary goal was to be able to use Rust on m68k. I have already started on the Rust part [1]. And now I need an m68k expert to help with the ABI part [2]. > Do you know if anyone has run the LLVM unit tests on Motorola silicon? Not that I know of. I have successfully built LLVM natively on qemu-m68k, but clang currently doesn't work properly [3]. I have not looked into details yet why that doesn't work.
