Subject: building openjdk-6 for m68k

the openjdk-6 6b11-4 should build on m68k. It may take a few weeks, but I currently don't see any issue with it. If you do so, please keep the build tree, so that the testsuite can be run, after the build finishes (taking some more weeks to finish).

It is a pure IcedTea Zero interpreter for Hotspot build (unfortunately the cacao m68k jit is currently “broken” :{ ), which explains the long, long, long build time. But if you have some spare m68k machine around and a couple of spare weeks, please do give it a try.
