We're of course supportive of "free" systems that use GCC as their
system compiler and we appreciate bug reports (and fixes) generated as
a result of your testing.  We'd need commitments from individuals for
testing and fixing problems to consider this, i.e. we can't just add
new systems and place the burden on the RM to support them.  Running
automated regression testers and posting the results certainly helps
your case.  (Hint hint.)

But six targets seems like a lot.  Which one is your top concern?
(Consider chosing something other than x86 cause we have a bunch of
those already.)
