Yeah. I think your priorities are somewhat backwards:
* I'd say that failing 10% of the time is way too much, and should be RC for
stretch -- as someone said in this thread, there'll be expected one FTBFS
in a release arch per security/stable update, and that's a practical
problem.
* single-CPU machines have gone the way of the dodo. Even the crummiest
machine I could find while dumpster-diving looking for a non-sse3 one
already has HT and builds your examples successfully. Same for ARM SoCs
-- my RPi1 is kaputt, and anything newer has multiple cores. This, I'd
say it's a waste of time to care about _building_ on single CPU.
Meow!
