Our CI system builds the toolchains from source to ensure complete
reproducability for our releases.

The toolchain reposity http://source.netsurf-browser.org/toolchains.git/
contains the makefiles which construct a correctly patched set of
sources to generate a cross compiler and then build it.

In addition the libraries and tools necessary to cross compile the
browser are contained in a common SDK in the toolchains repo.

it should be as simple as:

git clone git://git.netsurf-browser.org/toolchains.git
cd toolchains
mkdir -p /opt/netsurf
make -C m68k-atari-mint

if it works on SuSE that should just work elsewhere.

I have a branch vince/atari-gcc7 which is my current work in progress,
this gets a compiler built but crashes and burns at the mintlib stage

Once the cross environment is completely working the SDK build can be
attempted with:

GCCSDK_INSTALL_CROSSBIN=/opt/netsurf/m68k-atari-mint/cross/bin GCCSDK_INSTALL_ENV=/opt/netsurf/m68k-atari-mint/env make -C sdk
