amd64 (even under i386 "platform") just isn't as well supported on 4.x
as on 5.x.  There probably aren't many people with *any* experience
doing what you're trying.

I don't understand what you're saying, but I'll nonetheless take a
guess that the answer is "base/base.??".  That it might have been
named a little differently on 4.x; possibly "bin" instead of "base".
