I've seen a similar panic as the one you posted when I had quite a bit 
of memory pressure due to ext2fsck running. Otherwise, the kernel built 
with my old binutils boots fine and eventually crashes the emulator with:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'm68k_exception'

after getting well into runlevel 2 and starting a few services.

Retesting your kernel - when I leave swap off I also get to runlevel 2, 
and it starts to throw panic messages as soon as inetd is started.
I've tried a few leads related to network stuff, but in the end 
replacing the  option CONFIG_SLUB=y by CONFIG_SLAB=y did fix it.

Whatever the reason - the SLUB allocator either is buggy outright for 
m68k, or we run into memory pressure a lot sooner than other 
architectures and the VM subsystem needs optimizing for SLUB.

I'd just replace the Debian default for the m68k kernels....

Cheers,
