Yes, it's actually the same person who does this - me ;).

These images should work just fine:

The latest snapshot is currently broken due to a regression in initramfs-tools.

Yes, that would be the latest gcc. There are no plans at the moment to
drop ia64 from gcc as the backend is already ported to MODE_CC.

m68k was on the brink of being removed, but I started a Bountysource campaign
to convert it from cc0 to MODE_CC and it was eventually saved ;).
