The mpc68360 is too old to be used in a new develpment. I suggest you to change processor.

The 360 may be old but is by no means dead... I can't imagine that Yusuf or anyone else is planning on using it in a greenfield design, but there are several scenarios where using an older processor makes sense. Telling people to switch processors is a simplistic waste of bandwidth.
Anyway, Yusuf:
Here's a link to a patch that was submitted by *Ilya* *Matvejchikov*. I can't vouch for it personally, but it may be helpful:
