68k support in Linux and GCC includes NXP Coldfire, a family of microcontrollers that are the last living descendents of the 68k. There are products being made right now that run on Coldfire so it is quite relevant to a lot of people to keep support going. NXP also still makes the original 68000, which undoubtedly is still in demand for industrial and embedded uses. (Although a plain vanilla 68000 is not going to be running Linux due to the lack of an MMU) https://www.nxp.com/products/processors-and-microcontrollers/legacy-mpu-mcus/32-bit-coldfire-mcus-mpus:PC68KCF https://www.nxp.com/products/processors-and-microcontrollers...
