You won't. System isn't set up for it yet, sorry. I keep the logs in /tmp on the
build servers for the time being, so you'd need a login ;).

I copied the individual log files for the 3.4 build to http://roeck-us.net/linux/logs
in case you want to browse through it.

Here is a summary.

mips/allmodconfig:
drivers/net/ethernet/3com/3c59x.c: In function 'vortex_init_one':
drivers/net/ethernet/3com/3c59x.c:1031:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'pci_iomap' 

We have seen that before in 3.10. Commit 78857614104 (MIPS: Expose
missing pci_io{map,unmap} declarations) fixes it.

sound/oss/soundcard.c:69:31: error: 'MAX_DMA_CHANNELS' undeclared here (not in a function)

This requires 
d4702b189c sound: Fix make allmodconfig on MIPS
a62ee234a5 sound: Fix make allmodconfig on MIPS correctly

Unfortunately, after applying those patches the build still fails with

ERROR: "min_low_pfn" [drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/ath6kl_sdio.ko] undefined!

This has been fixed upstream with commit 8b9232141b (MIPS: Rewrite pfn_valid to work
in modules, too), which applies but results in build failures. There is a patch
from Ben Hutchings which removes the use of virt_addr_valid() (which causes
the problem) from the ath6kl driver, but that is not in mainline.

powerpc/chroma_defconfig:
arch/powerpc/mm/numa.c: In function 'do_init_bootmem':
arch/powerpc/mm/numa.c:529:19: error: 'aa.arrays' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
arch/powerpc/mm/numa.c:642:22: note: 'aa.arrays' was declared here
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

No idea. Code looks all different in 3.10.

arm/allmodconfig:
Error in configuration file after "make allmodconfig". It suggests to run "make
oldconfig" to update it. I tried that, but it fails as well. Not sure if it is
worth looking into it.

m68k/allmodconfig:
drivers/hid/hid-microsoft.c: In function 'ms_report_fixup':
drivers/hid/hid-microsoft.c:52:18: error: macro "memcmp" passed 6 arguments, but takes just 3
drivers/hid/hid-microsoft.c:51:5: error: 'memcmp' undeclared (first use in this function)
drivers/hid/hid-microsoft.c:51:5: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in


microblaze/mmu_defconfig:
build/scripts/gen_initramfs_list.sh: Cannot open 'rootfs.cpio'
make[1]: *** [usr/initramfs_data.cpio.gz] Error 1
make: *** [usr] Error 2

CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE=rootfs.cpio in the config file probably
isn't such a good idea.

Upstream commit d0e045401f26 (microblaze: Update microblaze defconfigs)
addresses this problem, but it can not be applied directly. It defines
CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y, CONFIG_PCI=y, and CONFIG_PCI_XILINX=y, which do
not build in 3.4. It builds successfully if I apply d0e045401f26
and remove those three definitions.

blackfin/defconfig:
ERROR: "vm_iomap_memory" [drivers/video/fb.ko] undefined!
make[1]: *** [__modpost] Error 1

sh/defconfig:
drivers/built-in.o: In function `fb_mmap':
fbmem.c:(.text+0x5e8): undefined reference to `vm_iomap_memory'

Both look similar and might be easy to fix if someone knows what is wrong.

cris/...:
In file included from include/linux/page-flags.h:8:0,
                 from kernel/bounds.c:9:
include/linux/types.h:25:1: error: unknown type name '__kernel_ino_t'
include/linux/types.h:29:1: error: unknown type name '__kernel_off_t'

include/linux/types.h:31:1: error: unknown type name '__kernel_daddr_t'
include/linux/types.h:33:1: error: unknown type name '__kernel_suseconds_t'

That one might be tricky (or simple if someone knows what is wrong).
