I'm not sure how can I answer this question. I certainly don't object to this, and would love to see it coming on-line. But I don't think I can help doing this in any way, except encouraging and perhaps helping by advice with some initial build issues. > We can install the desired MinGW cross-toolchain on some Linux > machine in gcc compile farm, and start a buildslave instance there? > We only do the build. This is very helpful to find such build > issues. I agree. There's one complication: there are 2 divergent MinGW distributions; most (all?) Linux distributions pick up the one that is different from the one I use. So it could be that the problems I find will not be discovered even by such a bot. Still, I think doing that would be useful.
