It would have been nice if you had asked and waited for a reply from the
person(s) that had been active in this area lately. Yet another reason
why I am a big fan of maintainership.
I have stated more than once in the mailing lists why I had yet to make a
compat4x dist. For every 4.x release before 5.0-RELEASE, we now have to
commit new libs. Since they are uuencoded gzip'ed files -- there is zero
lines that remain the same and thus the repo bloat is a big factor.

IF you were going to do this, you should have used *released* bits -- in
this case from the 4.2 CDROM so we know *exactly* what sources made up
the libs. You didn't even note the date the libs were built, so we have
zero idea what sources made them up.
You also should have done the Alpha bits at the same time if you were
going to do the i386 bits -- now you've done a 1/2 job.
