I think those are the ones Paul is talking about. Those were mostly built by Tony, who is know, sadly, an Openstack developer and for some reason doesn't seem to have time to build toolchains for kernel hackers :P As folks may have seen on LWN, there are now pre-built toolchains for many architectures available from the Free Electrons guys, so that may help to unblock this situation somewhat: http://toolchains.free-electrons.com/ cheers
