By default we use i586, right? So what you suggest is an i586 defconfig?

Now we have two options:

 - Use an internal toolchain configuration, which means that the
   toolchain is rebuilt everytime, and when we want on our side to
   reproduce the build failures, we also have to rebuild the toolchain.

 - Use a pre-built external toolchain.

I'm leaning twoards the second option. What do you think?

Best regards,

Thomas
