Yeah, the official Red Hat archive [1] only has i386 (IA-32), IA-64 and
s/390 architectures for Red Hat Linux 7.2.

I assume the build was provided by Digital only, although at least it was
official [2], unlike the MIPS ports from Cobalt (later Sun).

I've reached out to Maddog if he knows of one, in case he's not subscribed
to this old list.
