I am currently attempting a build in my unstable chroot on my alpha. It
might take a while. My mipsel isn't hooked up at the moment so I can't
try that one (and it would take more than a while on it). I don't own
any hppa, ppc or s390 at this time. I only have m68k, mipsel, sparc,
alpha, x86 and amd64, so far, and have access to arm. Well and a mips
(not el) but it isn't supported by linux at this time. :)
