Some of them probably don't require that much skill, just access to the
machine arch and a little effort. Also look for BROKEN- in Makefiles.
Unfortunately a lot of the errors in these build logs would just go away
if the build was reattempted ("Error: job failed 256") so it's hard to
spot which ports have real problems from the directory indices.
