Build tests in one 32 bit Linux guest and three BSD images are defined in this series. This is a more managable way than the manually maintained virtual machines in patchew. Also, one big advantage of ephemeral VMs over long running guests is the reduced RAM usage of host, which makes it possible to have one host test all these BSD variants and probably more.
The BSD guest templates are manually prepared following https://wiki.qemu.org/Hosts/BSD as it is not easy to automate. (The ideal approach is like the ubuntu.i386 script, which configures the guest on top of an official released image, fully automatically.) Need for help: "gmake check" in the added OpenBSD image fails with -ENOMEM errors, even if I change "-m 2G" to "-m 8G" when starting VM. Ideas? And there is a warning from ./configure about OpenBSD going to be unsupported in coming releases, is it still the case?
