binutils has a try bot on https://builder.sourceware.org/

If you push a try- branch to your users branch the buildbot will pick
it up and run a build on a bunch of different architectures.

https://builder.sourceware.org/buildbot/#/builders?tags=binutils-try

The remote branch should be called users/username/try-something.
So assuming your local branch with the patches to test is called
"frob", you can push it to a users try- branch like:

- git push origin frob:users/ibhagat/try-frob

Then wait for the emails to come in or watch the logs at the above URL.

Note that not all arches are green at the moment, so you need to check
if a failure is because of your new code or was already existing.

Cheers,

Mark
