I went through a similar process a few years back. As far as I know, there is some extended availability through Rochester Electronics, but I don't know if anyone's still actually fabbing them or if they're dicing/packaging out of a stockpile of NOS wafers or what. I'm not aware of anyone still having a 68K/ColdFire chip that is "recommended for new designs". I also read somewhere that the 2011 earthquake+tsunami destroyed the only fab that had still been producing the original (well, CMOS) 68K-family chips, and Freescale had been planning to close that fab anyway.
