I regularly build and run the Algol 68 testsuite on aarch64-linux. Matthias Klose did the kind job of packaging the frontend on Debian on top of both GCC 15 and trunk. He has been posting the test results to gcc-testresults list. I recently got an account on the compier farm and I intend to track/fix the few issues that pop on non- (x86_|aarch)64. Sam recently worked on packaging the frontend on Gentoo and he uncovered some issues with the diagnostics code because he used hardening options in the build flags. That led to Jose rewriting a lot of that code to stop using hardcoded buffer sizes and I complemented his patches with some improvements to the way things were doing string size calculations. As with any software more people building/using it means we get more chances to fix things :) > --joel pietro
