That won't work. But for NOMMU without a separate kernel domain it
would work to do cli;nonatomic_cas;sti (not sure what the actual m68k
insns for that are). There are plenty of places where a cas that does
nothing will break code, probably even during common paths in simple
programs.

You can add a softfloat ABI; nominally there even is one, but it's
clearly not working. The setjmp/longjmp files should be made .S
instead of .s with #if around the floating point save/restore
conditioned on being hardfloat ABI.

You're really probably 90% there to at least having something that'll
build and that should run if you wire up syscalls.
