Agree: I'll leave it open as an m68k port bug.  
What is your opinion as to bug severity?

To clarify: the exception test failure happens on amd64, so it should be 
visible in essentially any other distribution.  Dmitri did report it upstream 
[1] but there has been no response.  My googling for 
"gtest_catch_exceptions_test failure" only turned up the Debian discussions.  
This is what makes me suspect something about the Debian tool chain.
