All of them - you need different combinations for BL2 and BL3.  It was 
compiled for BL3 so for BL2 I packaged libc5 and I think some other needed 
libraries.

Both.  A basic package for both and then one other for each.
I don't recall which one the new gz file is for - BL2?  I am not currently 
on a computer with netbpm to check.

I have BL3 only as a loop setup.

David or Steven please corret any errors.  I got this working long enough 
to make a 50MB fs.img for parport BL3.
(--login is for ash)

I think I stumbled across it and the linux version supports video but not 
audio so far.
