Re: m68k port clears its Needs-Build queue
Steven Chamberlain dixit:

Probably not much, as Ingo already said. Many packages are either
Failed, Not-For-Us, or BD-Uninstallable.

Yes! In this order, probably (boost-related means the latest/default one):
Anything boost-related (I think Andreas Schwab has posted patches). PHP.
OpenJDK. MozJS. GHC. Erlang. And anything else for which Andreas already
posted patches to the list, since it requires a porter to pick them up,
apply them, build them and upload to “unreleased”, test things,
then feed them to the package maintainer, who can then include
them and feed them to upstream.
