It would be good for binutils to have something like GCC's 
contrib/config-list.mk or glibc's build-many-glibcs.py, to build and run 
the testsuite over all relevant targets (but for this to be maximally 
useful, you also need a baseline state that is clean or very close to 
clean, and bots reporting if people check in a patch that regresses 
anything).

The last time I did such many-targets binutils testing (when fixing 
remote-host issues in the testsuite, I think) I used a list of targets I 
got from Dan Jacobowitz, but that is very old now (it has a comment "From 
Nick Clifton, 2004-05-11").
