Maybe. In this case I just need to do these things by myself. I already
wrote my own microkernel on Coldfire some years ago. And when I remember
right, RT and repemptivness where available on m68k targets years before
such things were available on others. Honestly - that's no show blocker.

And as FreeScale now also starts production of the v4m core (just MMU
and no FPU), there might be a chance to get m68k out of ist niche.

:-) That sounds familiar. 

For testing I can setup some nightly build for all toolchains on a
dedicated server with _lots_ of free disk space. At the moment the
server is more or less idleing all day. So people can download current
toolchains as binary for functional tests at least - might save many
hours waiting for recompilation.
