:-) My tester will do that automatically.
For targets where we can build natively or pseudo-native with qemu it does:
1. Build and install binutils trunk
2. Bootstrap & install gcc trunk
3. Build glibc with just installed tools
4. Build kernel with just installed tools
For other *-linux-gnu targets where we can't exploit qemu's ability to
do dynamic translation:
1. Build and install binutils trunk as cross
2. Build and install gcc trunk as cross
3. Build glibc with cross tools
4. Build kernel with cross tools
I don't test as many sub-configs as build-many-glibcs. But for various
oddball targets the builds appear native (hppa, m68k, various arm
things, etc). So on those targets it's doing a deeper level of build
testing.
