I don't want to see running build-many-glibcs.py as a requirement forposting 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 supporttargets which are not included in any upstream GCC version, only patcheson top of an upstream version which already fell out of support?


Thanks,
