The main problem is that the 2 new buildd are Niagara
machines which are not really stable. It left only 2
buildd which seems to be quit old and slow.
On my V240, the 3.13 kernel seems to be rock solid (I've
been rebuilding the gcc package 3 times - 8hours build -
without any issue).
Maybe what's missing is a couple of stable buildd to match
the workload.
Interesting. I have a SB 2500 (2xUltraSPARC III) and I
faced some instability when using 'git clone' on a kernel
I compiled, but stock debian was OK. I wrote it off since
I changed the default memory allocator and enabled a few
experimental features, but maybe there is something more
to this. Perhaps we should compare some kernel
configurations and see where the source of instability
might be.

My kernel are plain debian kernel, without modification. I had no
issue at all with new kernel.
I've been running 3.2 for 1-2 year with no issue.
