The only reference I could find to John's message is on the prc-tools
release note page:
<http://prc-tools.sf.net/releases.html>
where he says that m68k-palmos-obj-res is no longer needed to convert
bfd files into something that build-prc can read because build-prc
can read bfd files directly now. (But since my local e-mail archives
only go back to March and the change in question was made 13 months
before that, I might have to go back to my older e-mail archives to
find an actual announcement.)
As well there was the following posting to this list:

I'm not too familiar with the prc-tools build process, but perhaps
there's something in there that makes sense to you.
