That's in the US?  Is that OK with regard to export restrictions?

The FAQ and release(8) should give some guidance.  IMHO enough to build
a release that can be used as binary update.

ACK.

Well, let's see if we can finally do something about it.
I can build the kernel+system for the latest stable release for
6 architectures (i386, sparc, sparc64, hppa, alpha and vax).
I don't have the hardware to build the previous release or other
architectures, but it's a start.

I hope others will jump in to fill in the gaps and also have some spare
capacity in case something breaks.
