We ALL know that the right way is to build on the target hw, test on the |
| 10 |
hw and do that in a TIMELY manner. |

| 12 |
Now, since seems that certain arches do not have enough hw or people |
| 13 |
which are the workaround to have stuff tested to a minimum in time? |

- emulate such hardware if you don't own it |
| 16 |
- use cross-distcc if you have the hardware but takes ages to build or |
| 17 |
just requires too much power. |
| 18 |
- use qemu-system or qemu-softmmu if you don't have access to the hw. |
