I don't want to see running build-many-glibcs.py as a requirement for 
posting patches.  The main reason for that is that it's rather expensive 
(either you need to be very patient, or you need a fairly big machine).

What do you think about of out-of-tree GCC ports?  Can we support 
targets which are not included in any upstream GCC version, only patches 
on top of an upstream version which already fell out of support?

Thanks,
