You should install the gnu assembler 'gas' as well. BTW, John Vasta from
Apollo did it and also provides mods to generate COFF modules. See
labrea.stanford.edu /pub/gnu/APOLLO.README and apollo-gcc-1.37.tar.Z


I ran into a problem with this however: The gnu assembler deletes all
symbols starting with a capital 'L', unless you explicitly tell it not to 
do so. So if you have a routine called 'LookupIDbyByte' as in X11R4....
You therefore better make sure that you add a 'L' in the config file 
tm-apollo68.h at the same place where you pass the 'C' for generating
COFF object files.

Good luck!
