I could not confirm your problems here. Have build a ftp-iso with 2.6.30
without a problem on mirrorlist. I use archiso with the latest commits.
Also the change in makefile is not necessary, you have only to activate
testing repo in your build-host's pacman.conf and make sure testing is
above the other repos (After ISO builing - if you don't have a VM for
this - you could disable testing to stay your build-host clean).

Other hint when using such a test-iso: you must also enable testing repo
in the installation which you boot with your test iso - otherwise your
iso has ex. 2.6.30 and your system will get installed with 2.6.29.
