Amiboot and Amiga-Lilo are part of m68kboot, which is available from
cvs.linux-m68k.org.

Recently Roman Zippel made some changes (e.g. preliminary APUS support) to
Amiga-Lilo: http://www.xs4all.nl/~zippel/amiga-lilo-2.3.tar.gz

To cross-compile Amiboot, you need to package ADE (Amiga Development
Environment) first.

Similar things are true for the Atari bootstrap...
