I don't think buildrom is the place for this. It's pretty much out of
the scope for the project.

 Next time a distribution ships a broken glibc, we start adding that,
too. If you use a distribution with a broken toolchain, you should visit
http://kegel.com/crosstool/ and build a new toolchain _once_.

I agree we should have an FAQ entry to point people to crosstool though.

We also need feedback on our own bugs and issues before or while we
start looking in other directions. We have a fully working test system
that nobody is using anymore:
http://www.linuxbios.org/Distributed_and_Automated_Testsystem
If you have supported nodes, that you do not need anymore, please
contact me for putting them into the test system.

Also, we should try to merge autobuild and buildrom. I never understood
why a new tool was build instead of enhancing an already existing one.
qa.linuxbios.org is fully using abuild. We drop a couple of potential
problems if we start using one solution for building linuxbios.
