I have added these targets to my person roster of test triples, and I
will try to keep an eye on them. But when releases are made, I do tend
to rely upon target maintainers taking a look at the test results for
their architectures and fixing up any regressions. So the more maintainers
that we have, the better the results. Hint hint...
