yes, then I will "test" it on Debian unstable as well. Testresults are
already sent for each sucessful build to gcc-testresults. This
includes all current linux architectures (alpha, arm, hppa, i386,
ia64, m68k, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc) and netbsd-i386.
No testresults are sent for the Hurd due to a missing/non functional
ulimit implementation.
We apply some patches to the packages, for which descriptions are
included into the test reports. These patches include
- "installation" patches (build versioned info files, find headers
for gc enabled objc library, etc)
- patches sent to gcc-patches.
- In libf2c libjava/libltdl libobjc libstdc++-v3 zlib, autoreconf --force
is run to support mips and mipsel.
Some patches are submitted, but not yet reviewed.
For further testing the applications mentioned on the page I'll ask
the Debian package maintainers (if these packages are packaged for
Debian). Are the versions of these packages still valid?

There is another "GNU/Linux" target (armv4l-unknown-linux-gnu)
mentioned as secondary platform. Maybe Phil Blundell can test this
one? At least the test results are already sent for arm-linux as well
(although the bootstrap is currently broken).
