Thanks for doing this. I'm happy to do what I can, but frankly, nothing
in my menagerie (irrespective of architecture) has enough suds to make a
suitable build platform for anything other than one-off custom stuff
(including the things I'm personally willing to wait on, like glibc
builds when absolutely required :-)). If my 433au can contribute
meaningfully in any way, I'll be glad to make it happen.
