Nice to hear that it wasn't my bug. I felt very embrassed by that.
Anyway it would be nice to have ability to check other targets as well.
You usually more likely break target you don't know so having chance
to bootstrap non-Intel machine would be great.

I have account on one ultra and some mips machines, so I will set up
the CVS tree there, but I was thinking that it would be nice,
if Cygnus (now Redhat?) would make available some machines with
representative set of platofrms, that would run bootstrap/ make check
regularry after CVS updates and send result to mailing list (egcs-check).
It would be easier for people to track down the failures, and running
bootstrap possibly once per night does not eat too extreme amout of
CPU cycles even for machine used for other purposes as well.

Perhaps it can me even made automatic checking for patches sent to the
gcc-patches, but it would probably require very strict protocol for
sending the patches (to make them machine-readable), so I am not sure
how good idea this is. Or perhaps we can make just a mail alias,
that will accept patches and reply by the bootstrap results on various
platforms..
