This would be my concern. Not so much for if we can build it _somewhere_
(I'm sure we can find enough spare x86 boxen), but build-time on certain
platforms will be more scarce. I don't know if we'd be able to build
every submitted change on, say, IRIX, but there are certainly changes I
make that I'd want verified on as many platforms as possible.

Is it possible for there to be a way to specify what platforms we want
something build-tested on, or should we just not bother with buildbot
for that kind of thing?
