Please test aarch64-elf and x86_64-elf for releases

[Roland McGrath via binutils]

Hi folks.

In the last few release cycles there have been several small test
suite regressions that bit me when configuring for
--target=aarch64-elf or --target=x86_64-elf. These are easy to fix
but it's a shame that we keep having releases go out with regressions.

Can I ask folks making releases to build+check test these
configurations in the future?


Thanks,
Roland

I heard a volunteer from Google was going to do the testing?

I have added these targets to my person roster of test triples, and I
will try to keep an eye on them. But when releases are made, I do tend
to rely upon target maintainers taking a look at the test results for
their architectures and fixing up any regressions. So the more maintainers
that we have, the better the results. Hint hint...
