Not at all. We do have some tests that don't use those toolchains. Look
at support/testing/tests/boot/test_atf.py, the tests use Linaro
toolchains.

If you want to do runtime test on an AArch64 platform without building
the kernel as part of your test configuration, then yes, we would have
to add an artifact on http://autobuild.buildroot.net/artefacts/. I can
definitely do that if needed.

I'm not super happy with this artefacts solution, but I wanted to avoid
putting all those binary files under version control inside the
Buildroot repository. If people have better proposals, I'm definitely
interested.

Best regards,

Thomas
