What happened with the plan of buying some arm machine to work as a buildbot?
My experience trying to compile sage on arm machines has been painful. It took two weeks to compile it in my android tablet (under an ubuntu chroot), and it overheated so much that the device got damaged. Anyways, once compiled it works reasonably well. So i think it would be worth distributing binaries for this architecture. I have tried to emulate such a system using qemu to compile there, hoping that it could be faster, but i wasn't able to do it easily, and abandoned. Would it be possible to use a cluster of raspberry pis to compile in parallel? Or maybe someone versed in cross compiling can tell if it is doable that way?
