Both vanilla and extended auto-builds are completely scripted.  I  
think the 64-bit issues in pd are pretty much worked out.  What needs  
to happen now is to find all of the 64-bit issues with the  
externals.  So having a extended build would be a lot more helpful.

Federico has done one:

http://pd-overlay.sourceforge.net/

It would also be useful to have a gentoo nightly build to work out  
any issues with gentoo, and document its dependencies.  There is a  
wiki page too:

(this should be moved to http://puredata.info/docs/developer/Gentoo  
IMHO)
