He'll flame you anyway for talking about platforms
that are no longer relevant to the desktop.
(Well, maybe he wouldn't.  See http://lwn.net/Articles/19297 )

A successful crossbuild is certainly the minimum concievable standard.
Perhaps one should also require bootstrapping the C compiler alone;
that would provide at least some sanity-checking.
