But I think it will be helpful to offer these links when it is missing or not working on kernel.org. I realized now that buildman is an effective and must-have tool. Every developer should run buildman before submitting patches, though it does take hours to run. The problem is that some toolchains are not easily found until looking into tools/moveconfig.py. So we should make it available. Best regards, Thomas
