Do you keep a binary copy in /usr/portage/packages/All/ by any chance? This is done by setting the FEATURES= in make.conf. If not, I think they keep a binary package on Gentoo somewhere. There may be other places as well. If all else fails and you happen to have a system that is compatible with mine, I could send you mine. :-) Dale :-) :-)
