I tried to compile it for m68k, but for some reason or another it failed,
unfortunately Im not a programmer, so I didnt know how to fix it.

I have tested .8, once I edited the /etc/apt/sources.list to change it to
m68k for non-US, it worked fine, although a little slow, as I don't know
of any http allowable sites in .au. Could I suggest a post-inst or
something to modify the /etc/apt/sources.list to reflect arch?
