...and avoiding MULS, MULU, ASL and = ASR, which behave differently...

No need to = avoid them. Just need to account for different = behaviour.

it should be possible to write programs which run =
natively on 680xx as = well as Coldfire processor architectures =
(although they might = not run as fast on the older architecture than =
they would if written = exclusively for them).

And that would mean crippled = binaries for old Atari users. 8/16/32 MHz
just got even = slower.

Right. But at least better = than programs that don't run at all.
