You can use standard Amiga C compilers, 68000 assemblers, and BLINK
to generate code that will run on the 68000.  I have built several
680x0 projects using the Amiga to develop code.  (Including an
8-node hypercube with 10 MHz 68010's with the Amiga as a front end.)
Since the executable code for the Amiga is relocatable, I have written
a little program to convert Amiga executable files to Motorola S
format. (You need to give the absolute addresses of the CODE, DATA,
and BSS sections.)  There are some rules that you must live with
like:  You can't link with the supplied libraries; you need to write
your own versions of scanf, printf, etc.  If the code is to be
placed in ROM, you cannot initialize variables that you plan on
changing.  External and static variables will not be initialized
to zero.
The bottom line:  you can use the development tools you [probably]
already have, if you are willing to live with some rules.
Best of Luck.
