2.1.65-1 compiled successfully on seven architectures up to now (ia64,
alpha, hppa, powerpc, sparc, mipsel, and mips).  It will take a while until
we have all the build daemons done.  FYI, here are the build times (in
hours:minutes:seconds) of the last successful buildd of each of the three
lacking architectures:

    arch   last version   build time

    s390     2.1.64-3      03:05:13
    arm      2.1.64-3      13:06:58
    m68k     2.1.64-1      77:51:08  (3.25 days!!!)

As Dirk pointed out to me privately: "any recent microwave oven has probably
more cpu power than those old m68k boxen..."
