After a bit of looking, it seems that :

  o on ppc, the patch i provide in the bug fix is not needed anymore
  (mach64 driver builds fine)

  o on m68k, the same patch could be applied, altough it seem to break
  in the pm2 driver later on.

  o Don't really know about the arm case, but it was not built since -39.

I am downloading the source to look at it.

But still, i question the interrest of building v3 for m68k or ppc, i
don't believe there is anyone who will benefit from using v3 over v4
nowaday, so it should be safe to drop it.
