I've been looking for an excuse to buy a RPi.
I have a static IP and domain to donate as well.
If no one else already has one and is willing, I'll do it.
I'm already familiar with compiling GDC.
I wouldn't go out and buy one just for this. The raspberry's are pretty
underpowered anyway.
I've got a guru plug as well as a qemu environment setup (very easy to
do), which are both available. But honestly, cross-compiling from a fast
x86 box is _tons_ faster than building on-device. I don't know how well
gcc is setup for cross-testing though. That's always... tricky.
Later,

Of course, but ssh access allows copying the files over and requires
either complicated network setup, or static IP.
Which is why I mentioned it. Either I or someone else could have a
cross-compiler which simply copies the results to the RPi to be tested.
;)
It would seem to me to be a Good Idea(tm) to have actual hardware to test
it.
Plus It's just a fun project. I could host a simple website with it using
vibe(I should really rebuild GDC to check that vibe bug report...) in
order to have an actual "production" test project.
