Hi there. The GCC build time is approaching 24 hours and our five

As you know, I've been doing some experiments with this over the last few months. I was blocked by a LAVA bug for a while, but that's been fixed now.

Here's the latest test run (done by Le Chi Thu):

http://validation.linaro.org/lava-server/dashboard/permalink/bundle/d73af579ed77957615bd3db2d9055d82bb14299e/

The test fails due to a GCC build failure:

//usr/include/linux/errno.h:4:23: fatal error: asm/errno.h: No such file or directory

This surprised me, because I thought it was using the same rootfs you had on the ursa boards, but I've not had time to do anything about it yet.

Looks like something that can likely be resolved by adding a dependency for the test. However, if you need, or if it would be more convenient to have a custom rootfs for this, that's certainly an option. Nothing says we necessarily have to run these tests on nano, developer, etc... but if it's interesting to make it possible for later running this as part of a platform release test, it might be better to make them generic so that they don't depend on a custom rootfs.
