For S390x we have a just-for-QEMU machine already, courtesy of IBM. We're already doing builds on the GCC build farm machines, so as long as we don't increase the number of things we're building that way (ie we don't allow them to be used by random other submaintainers doing test runs) I don't think it should increase the load on them. We should definitely check with the cfarm admins on how allowable buildbot-equivalents are, though. And as you say with our Linaro hats on we can provide the Arm hosts, so it's just PPC and SPARC. I should also mention MIPS here which is not in my set of host builds because I've never found a MIPS box fast enough. > > - FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD via the tests/vm setup > > We build on FreeBSD on Cirrus - but any x86 box can run the test/vm > setup assuming your just kicking it off with a make vm-test type thing?

The trick > will be making it all fast enough. Yes; Travis build time is at least twice the elapsed-time we are looking for here. The other nice part about my current setup is that if something fails on a random odd host architecture I can just ssh in and run the test by hand to debug it. I'm guessing that any of this sort of CI setup is going to prohibit that. thanks -- PMM
