Well, if the failure is in libgcc, that means that we get a mail on every commit. In this case my patch went in on Sunday afternoon, and the problems were fixed only on Thursday for multiple reasons (multiple patches, need for approval, need to rely on Peter Bergner to test patches, possibility to work with him only when both of us were awake, etc.).
This was pretty bad, but it was also unlucky that the failure was only on the exact arch that the tester builds for. Failures on powerpc are extremely annoying, failures on SPARC will go (almost) unnoticed.
