Yes. They are, however, compiled. This is a problem for me. At the
moment, the one important thing for me is to get this &*#)*^&*(
stuff to compile so we can go on with migration to TLS. I cannot
upload modified source to unstable, so patches must go into the
official Debian packages. Patches are only accepted if they are
accepted by “someone” – so if they live in linux-m68k for a while
it’s okay.

Besides, this seems like a simple fix or an accidental omission
to me. What is with all this bikeshedding? Some macros are not
available on m68k if CONFIG_ISA is not set, but they are available
“almost” or even really everywhere else, so drivers use them, so
m68k is buggy in not providing them. (Outsider’s PoV.)
