Tanks to the IPU (or your deity of choice) and everyone else involved.

The Alioth ppc64 project also hosts the Amd64 gcc-3.4/4.0 archive that
Andreas compiled. Questions related to archive problems or bugs only
present there were redirected to the ppc64 list by at least me and
probably more debian-amd64 people.
Maybe Andreas can give a little status update for the archive. With
sid having the new compiler the amd64 part of the archive becomes
quickly redundant. I guess after the C++ transition it can cease to
exist.
