yeah - very often build errors in rare .config scenarios are canaries 
for structural problems.

(We had such a situation in the x86 code recently: we had those quirky 
x86 subarchitectures, and they were a constant source of build errors 
that no real user actually cared about - because there were no active 
users left. We modularized them into the main platform and we havent had 
a single build bug in them in the last couple of months.)
