I didn't try to build a kernel from source on those machines (yet). There was some discussion to also offer some form of build kernel and boot+test environment in the farm, but it looks like there isn't much interest right now in such a thing (may be I'm wrong?). > Also, is binutils compiled as part of the gcc project, or is that a > separate thing?

Of course there's a lot of cooperation between developpers of both projects. The GCC installation instructions sometimes recommand a specific minimum version of binutils and of course GCC configure process will enable or disable features based on what your version of binutils support on your machine. The GCC compile farm is also used by binutils developpers to chase bugs, eg: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9743 For GCC build and test up to now debian etch provided binutils was enough on all machines.
