What count as distinct platforms here? Different target triples, or
different CPUs? Do one native and two different simulator crosses
suffice? Is it OK if some of the platforms do not support libgcj (say)?
When Ada is in the tree, is that required to be included in the tests on
some or all platforms?

Do regressions here include performance regressions? Do they include
documentation regressions?
