Good to hear. :)

I wasn't sure if g3 binaries would run on a g4.

Sounds reasonable.

So we're down to:

x86: i386 (with both i386 non-NPTL glibc and i486 NPTL glibc)
x86-64: x86-64
ppc: g3

Three architectures shouldn't be too bad. I'd also like them compiled with 
tiny
and strip optimizations if that's possible (to reduce size).
