Hmm, last time I tried to build binutils/gcc I only got:
   
   alpha arm sparc64 i386 x86_64 um m68k

working.

I recall that I managed to build sh and avr32 alas no luck.
So please do not expect people that touches code impacting
lots of architectures to provide the same level of coverage
that -next does.

Hay - and sometimes I even fail to buil for all the architectures
I have build tool for.
