Understandable. What about the Debian Amiga. I heard it's running. You
could test m68k stuff there. PPC accounts where offered here also. You
won't be able to test something like the kernel, but test the package
and wheather it compiles or not you can test.

Ok. Didn't think about that.

I had to korrect it, cause the kernel packages had ARCH=i386 hardcoded
into it and then it links again asm/i386.
May the Source be with you.
