I have had a closer look at this and found the following:

1. The original URL used in ptxdist's at91bootstrap2.make
(ftp://www.at91.com/pub/buildroot/$(AT91BOOTSTRAP2).$(AT91BOOTSTRAP2_SUFFIX))
does no longer work. The buildroot/ dir in the at91 ftp site does not
contain at91bootstrap sources anymore.

2. In the same ftp site there is a directory
ftp://www.at91.com/pub/at91bootstrap which contains:
- Some 1.x at91bootstrap releases (not relevant for
at91bootstrap_2_.make, which is supposed to deal with versions >= 2.x)
- No 2.x releases at all (neither source code nor binary)
- Some (but not all) 3.x releases between 3.1 and 3.7.1: Of these,
only 3.1 and 3.2 have some sort of source code, although judging from
the file names they does not seem to be the official releases (perhaps
a dev snapshot).

The above means that ptxdist's at91bootstrap2.make is currently more
or less broken already in its current state.

3. Atmel now officially points you to their github repo in order to
get the source code (see:
http://www.at91.com/linux4sam/bin/view/Linux4SAM/AT91Bootstrap#Get_AT91Boostrap_Source_Code)

4. In the github repo you can find full releases including source code
for all versions since 3.4 (I said 3.7 in my first mail but I was
wrong).

So if no one objects I will prepare and send a patch
at91bootstrap2.{in,make} to make it work with the current 3.x series.
