I was able to test with just a few targets, those for which I was able to
build a toolchain with crosstool-ng (arm and mips).  I did mingw32 as well.

I applied for an access to the gcc compile farm, but I'm still waiting.

I don't think I can do better at the moment.  Is there still something
holding back the patch?
