Are you referring to offloading builds or using a replacement to hydra.gnu.org for serving substitutes? Offloading builds seems like a good enough solution for now, but I'm not sure if there is support for offloading i686 builds to an x86_64 machine. I want to have this up and running before the release. I'm so close, just need to get over this last (fingers crossed) hurdle.
