Which brings me to another question. In the past, I wondered several times
whether a build error happened on other architectures as well.
Going through all failed logs manually is a bit tedious.
So would it be possible to have some method to find related build errors
on different configs/architectures? E.g. a scoreboard with the most popular
build errors/compiler warnings and links to the affected configs?

Thx again for the great linux-next work!
