That is highly appreciated. But again, do be warned that at the moment
the testsuite is only green for i386, x86_64 and arm64:
https://builder.sourceware.org/buildbot/#/builders?tags=gccrust&tags=gccrust-bootstrap
ppc64, ppc64le and s390x still have some testsuite failures.

That is with the "upstream", unmerged frontend code though. Once the
code lands in the gcc git repo we should think about switching the
buildbot to that.

Cheers,

Mark
