  * Set the path to the cross-compiling libgccjit in `gcc-path` (in `config.toml`).
- * Make sure you have the linker for your target (for instance `m68k-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc`) in your `$PATH`. Currently, the linker name is hardcoded as being `$TARGET-gcc`. Specify the target when building the sysroot: `./y.sh build --sysroot --target-triple m68k-unknown-linux-gnu`.

 If the target is not yet supported by the Rust compiler, create a [target specification file](https://docs.rust-embedded.org/embedonomicon/custom-target.html) (note that the `arch` specified in this file must be supported by the rust compiler).
 Then, you can use it the following way:
 
  * Add the target specification file using `--target` as an **absolute** path to build the sysroot: `./y.sh build --sysroot --target-triple m68k-unknown-linux-gnu --target $(pwd)/m68k-unknown-linux-gnu.json`
