We probably don't want to add all combinations to the build farm, but doing arm and aarch64 builds on linux-next with the compiler of the day seems like a nice addition to me.
I think we should be covering x86 as well, it's probably mainstream enough :)
Agreed. The thing here is that the binaries that Christophe produces are a byproduct of his more elaborate toolchain tests, and he's not doing those for any architectures other than arm/aarch64 today. Before we ask him to do any additional work that is outside of his normal scope, I think we should try to integrate the binaries we already have. Once that works, we can go looking for volunteers that can build x86 (and possibly ppc, mips, microblaze and rv32 to cover all the kernelci targets) compilers, either in an automated way, or manually but less frequently.
Or for something like this perhaps we should just be keying off the source anyway rather than trying to integrate random binaries from different places? Question for Matt anyway.
