	All of them always did.  The Amiga was born a 32-bit machine, as
Commodore was very explicit about how to support 32 bits properly.  As
for other added features of the 68030, both Lattice and Manx C compilers
have compile-time switches which allow you to choose to use special
68030 instructions and addressing modes, but if you use those, then your
programs won't work on a plain 68000 Amiga.
