It's trivially easy. All we need is the network in question.
Simply donate some modern hardware -- one complete system per platform+OS
combination, as well as a 24/7 network connection, and some battery-backup
power supplies -- and I'll set it up for you. The GCC testsuite requires
a long time to run, so please make sure that they have fast processors
and plenty of memory, or the automating testing won't finish until a week
after the patch being tested is checked in.
