Yeah. I think your priorities are somewhat backwards: * I'd say that failing 10% of the time is way too much, and should be RC for stretch -- as someone said in this thread, there'll be expected one FTBFS in a release arch per security/stable update, and that's a practical problem. * single-CPU machines have gone the way of the dodo. Even the crummiest machine I could find while dumpster-diving looking for a non-sse3 one already has HT and builds your examples successfully. Same for ARM SoCs -- my RPi1 is kaputt, and anything newer has multiple cores. This, I'd say it's a waste of time to care about _building_ on single CPU.
