[...] That's not actually true: Linus on multiple occasions has said that only the major architectures (x86, powerpc, ARM and a few others) are 'required' to build and that the others should be left to fail to build and should be _forced to get their act together_. > [...] As long as that's the case, linux-next should build on them too. No, and IMO linux-next is clearly over-interpreting this bit. Linux is not supposed to build on all architectures. Maybe that's a core bit of a misunderstanding (on either my or on sfr's side) and it should be clarified ...
