I took Daniel's ebuild from the bug and scrubbed it slightly. I'm no
pro in ebuilds either (they always get rewritten by some real dev :)
), so I dare not claim that I would have made it any better either,
only different. :)

Actually, splitpipe compiled pretty much "as such" on amd64 for me and
my only problems using the thing (writing files to media) were
figuring out the right device and command. Ok, something was written
correctly, but something wasn't. Upon restoring attempt,
splitpipe/joinpipe choked at the end of the first disc:

<snip>
UUID of this session is '8fb1a646f13a1d02 204d506d196884ab'
joinpipe: volume was started on Sat Jul 12 14:51:50 EEST 2008
joinpipe: found volume 1, as expected
Fatal: during read of a stretch of input: Input/output error

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
</snip>

Files before that last one on the first disc were apparently restored
correctly, I checked by comparing with diff -r to the originals.
However, the last file that is split across discs and any later ones
were unrecoverable.

I'll see where to dump the couple coasters I just became the happy
owner of and then see if I get around later to try with cdrtools
instead of wodim (cdrkit). I'm afraid that if someone won't try that,
it'll be all FUD on cdrkit and bugs all over again (without us
actually knowing whether it really was, e.g., a PEBKAC/ID-10T-problem
at my end).

Ebuild is attached in the bug (#230813) if anyone wants to try this
further, e.g., on x86 or with dvds. I only tried on amd64 and with
CDR-80s.
