I'm (at last) making progress with TeX Live. Managed to build a _working_ xindy (unfortunately, it needs libsigsegv and clisp), and now I've found a test example for biber online. So, I've updated my test files, new version is tex-test-20140821.tar.gz at http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~ken/tex-testfiles/ (hmm, it's only 20140820 on the server).
It _looks_ as if biber (distributed separately) needs a metric shed-load of perl modules, none of which I have. I think this will be a case for a CPAN build, although biber itself is not exactly a regular perl module. Measuring that is going to be interesting. Meanwhile, I've now found a SlackBuild which implies that the binary TeX installer might not be needed! I have a nasty suspicion that some things may turn out to be missing (apart from the voluminous docs), but I'll give it a try. Not sure if this will be ready for 7.6. ĸen -- Nanny Ogg usually went to bed early. After all, she was an old lady.
