OK, thanks for the info.

It=E2=80=99s hard for us to deal with disappearing software.  In this case,
we=E2=80=99re currently using this tarball just to install the Linux-Libre
headers to build libc, and our =E2=80=98linux-libre=E2=80=99 package can us=
e a different
upstream version than =E2=80=98linux-libre-headers=E2=80=99 anyway.

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
