We need

If we reach a green state for a platform X and have a buildbot for it,
keeping it green will require relatively small effort.
Every time we break it we will notice it in minutes and fix quickly
while we still have the same context fresh.
Fixing old systems once in few months during merge to gcc is costly
because failures accumulate.
I'm well overbooked already. However, if you have x86/x86_64 systems in your build farm that can be virtualized, I can help set up a suitable VM. CentOS 5.x is old enough to trigger lots of interesting problems, but is still in widespread use.
