I build various opensource packages for my own amusement and make them 
available for public consumption for anyone interested as part of my 
tgcware project(1).
To support this it's important to know what state gnulib is in so I run 
daily builds on those platforms (among others).
The build logs are also publicly available(2).
Should you choose to look into them you will see that there are several 
testsuite errors that I have not reported. I know those platforms are 
not that interesting to gnulib and I have no wish to impose any undue 
demands on already scarce resources.
