We used to have Debian etch binaries, however I removed them at some point
since Debian etch support ended half a year ago or so and there did not seem
much interest.

(If you want to help sponsor resurrecting binaries supporting such older
systems you could try contacting sales@xxxxxxxxxxxx.)

Alternatively, you can build the binaries yourself, it is not hard. You
basically need to run these two commands:

    BUILD/compile-bintar
    scripts/make_binary_distribution
