No, not bit-rotted. But rather, they were never implemented in xorrisofs
which is used these days instead of the classic mkisofs. There is still
genisoimage from the cdrkit package which is a fork of the original
cdrecord and hence the original mkisofs. I was just using the wrong
tool.

Laurent probably knows what to do here :).

There is here:

Try the above image first and let me know if it mounts. I will also
recreate the m68k image using genisomage.

Well, as you can see from the changelog, Thorsten made a custom upload
of that package during the time when he was working on the m68k port.
He was most likely just forgetting to include any Mac-related stuff.

Can you update your patch using genisoimage rather than xorrisofs?

See "man genisoimage".
