As long as we have a buildbot covering the CPU or compiler somehow I say they are covered (and someone is willing to help make sure they continue to work). I'm not going to say that we need a BSD ARM buildbot and a Linux ARM machine; having *a* machine with ARM should be enough to shake out most arch-specific issues IMO. Same goes with compilers.
