I tried to build it with cross-tool, binutils-2.16.1, gcc-4.0.3, glibc-2.3.6
Somebody suggested to me to use official debian sources, but
toolchain-source is not a big help here. Then I realised that the debian
packages have instructions for cross-compling, which actually works, so now
I have debian packages with:

GNU assembler version 2.16.91 (m68k-linux-gnu) using BFD version 2.16.91 20060413 Debian GNU/Linux
gcc version 4.1.2 20060613 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-5)

But linux-image fails here:

arch/m68k/math-emu/fp_scan.S: Assembler messages:
arch/m68k/math-emu/fp_scan.S:67: Error: Unknown operator -- statement `getuser.b (%a0),%d0,fp_err_ua1,%a0' ignored
arch/m68k/math-emu/fp_scan.S:75: Error: Unknown operator -- statement `getuser.l (%a0)+,%d2,fp_err_ua1,%a0' ignored

Yup, same error here with my old and trusted gcc-3.3.6.

BTW, I am not using the CVS directly, I diffed the linux-CVS against Linus'
tree and apply that patch to the debian sources. But I can try a clean CVS
checkout, maybe my diff is bad.

Lets move to l-m68k?
