I'm still undecided about attending Plumbers myself. If that topic ends up
on the list and I'm in Dublin, I would obviously attend, but there might not
actually be that much to discuss other than who would do the work.

I inherited the scripts from Tony Breeds who did it before. If you or someone
else wants to add clang binaries, I can help you get it onto the kernel.org
server as well, same for building more complete toolchains.

My build environment at the moment is on my old workstation running
an older Ubuntu 16.04 chroot, to allow building binaries for a large variety
of distros. As I'm moving to working purely on an arm64 workstation that
doesn't have this yet, I will likely have to revisit the way I'm building these
anyway for future releases.
