If you tackle this problem, could yo also check some new instructions
available for 040? If I remember correctly, 040 can do COMPARE_AND_
EXCHANGE smarter with these. This is the part what I planned to do
for the last 9 months and still not starting (my 040 box can still
only speaks MacOS :-<).

I don't know, I don't really speak m68k assembler. From what I've seen fro the m68k programming guide, there is also a cas2 instruction to compare and swap two operands, but I don't see where we could use that.


And of course, FLUSH_DCACHE should use proper system calls for each
OS...

FLUSH_DCACHE is necessary because some platforms need that for self-modifying code, right? Any ideas where one could find docs on that?
