Thanks for this pointer, it can indeed be quite useful from time to time,
especially to check gcc-related regressions.

That said, I'd rather not install a number of toolchains for systems
I can't test. I regularly build for i386/x86_64/arm with real configs
that I can boot a machine on when I have a doubt. Building random
configs do not always test all source code, especially on architectures
which support a wide variety of embedded platforms.

But I'm keeping the URL, Thanks :-)
