It is good to have both an understanding of Debian's build machine policies, and a link to the current builds. A lack of fast enough hardware for these architectures is a challenge. The cross architecture build system that Debian has set up is impressive. For some of these architectures, cross-compiling with limited testing on the native architecture may be the only feasible option, but that requires extra build configuration. > The other hard truth is that having a nightly build is not enough.
