A better solution is to setup a cross-compiling environment. It would be
faster than running (though you can't) it under an emulated environment,
even with a JIT compiler.

I know, in the past, the kernel for Linux/mac68k [debian] was
cross-compiled. You can setup a similar thing for compiling the glibc.
Note that you will need kernel headers, binutils configured to target
m68k, and obviously the compiler.

I don't know anyone working on MMU support. *I* don't intend to do that
either. If I had time, I'd better toying with a PPC core. Everything
gets simplified if MacOS can run it in real addressing mode. ;-)
