as your findings show, it is declared in m68360.h (so the 
compiler knows it will be defined somewhere and it is of type 
m360_t). For this BSP family it is defined in the linker 
command file 
"c/src/lib/libbsp/m68k/gen68360/startup/linkcmds":

        /*
         * On-chip memory/peripherals
         */
        dpram : {
                m360 = .;
                . += (8 * 1024);
        } >dpram
