It doesn't really matter, just not Ubuntu (or anything else that does 'multiarch').
I would suggest Fedora though...

Yes: It does not contain sys-libs/glibc and sys-kernel/linux-headers.

Haven't recognized that you do 'publish automated releases', nice!

As Prefix/Guest is stronger bound to the host OS compared to Prefix/RAP,
binary releases don't feel that useful here - at least to myself.

Instead, besides x86_64, also x86 (32bit) would be nice - simply using 'linux32':
$ PREFIX_DISABLE_RAP=yes linux32 ./bootstrap-prefix.sh /target/prefix noninteractive

Thanks a lot!
