That's not actually true: Linus on multiple occasions has said that only the
major architectures (x86, powerpc, ARM and a few others) are 'required' to
build and that the others should be left to fail to build and should be
_forced to get their act together_.

No, and IMO linux-next is clearly over-interpreting this bit. Linux is not
supposed to build on all architectures. Maybe that's a core bit of a
misunderstanding (on either my or on sfr's side) and it should be clarified
...
