Currently Sun 3 support is the first platform option, as the Sun 3 MMU is
incompatible with standard Motorola MMUs. However, this means that
`allmodconfig' enables support for Sun 3, and thus disables support for all
other platforms.
...
I hope it isn't too heretical to ask whether Sun 3 support actually has
users and works?
Apollo support was broken for over 7 years without anyone noticing, and
it might not be the only m68k platform that is long unused.
Do you have any overview of which m68k platforms still have users?
At least 4 users for amiga and 2 for mac :-P
#rank name inst vote old recent no-files
42014 linux-image-2.6-amiga 4 0 0 0 4
53844 linux-image-2.6-mac 2 0 0 0 2
from http://popcon.debian.org/by_inst
I'm a mac m68k user (who is the other one ???)
Debian 3.1 (the last release to support m68k) supported
Amiga, Atari, Mac and VME.
These were also the most popular m68k platforms at about
10 years ago. [1]
But what about the rest?
As long as a platform has at one or more users it is worth keeping it,
but at least for Apollo it seems to be clear that noone ever used
kernel 2.4 or 2.6 on this platform.
