I had a system outage of my machine that I run the stabilizations on a few 
weeks back, and then the bug actually slipped through. Which is no excuse, 
but…

-get access to hake (the hppa dev machine) and help doing it. This could fail 
if the machine is trying to build a stage or so, which takes multiple days…

-if you feel that something is missing come over to #gentoo-hppa and ping us 
about that

I'm running libgcrypt tests right now, should hopefully be done until 
tomorrow.
