Please don't exaggerate the situation; you can cross build
a full release without mkisofs 2.0.  You just can't build a
bootable iso-image using the make targets in etc/Makefile.

build.sh doesn't even currently support building an ISO
image specifically because we don't have in-tree support
for creation of iso9660 file systems.

I think that _I_ define what my priorities are regarding what to
work on in my own time for this _volunteer_ project.  Especially
for a minor feature request which has an easy workaround at this
time.
