Of course, these are just ideas and I'm not sure how practical it is to

one point I had even given thought, vainly, to purchasing VMWare for
such an occasion. Suggestions?
Personally ... if you could build up the test script, I think there are
enough ppl with more platforms on these lists that would be willing ot run
it ... the problem isn't getting the "farm" together, its coming up with
the automated (or even semi-automated) tests :(
I'll see what I can do... my shell script skills are pretty good, but
I'm not sure how to handle the noting changes in the gcc output. My
best guess is to just do it a couple of times and force something to
change (make an intentional mistake) and see if it can catch it, or at
least what changes.
