It's not anywhere on FTP, but when you build Owl, you get a tarball
under ~build/archives/
david!build:~$ ls -l archives/tcb-0.9.8.3.tar.gz
-rw-r----- 1 build sources 35776 Oct 31 19:06 archives/tcb-0.9.8.3.tar.gz
The main reason we don't put it out separately is that it depends on
some of our other stuff, primarily the password hashing framework
introduced with crypt_blowfish, in glibc.
It also assumes *BSD-like behavior of asprintf(3) on errors, which is
guaranteed with our glibc, but not with official glibc.
Perhaps I should make a "tcb" page on www.openwall.com and describe
the requirements there. Then it could also host tarballs.
