If other architectures may be affected (changes  to  common  code)  I
recommend  to  build  at least for PPC and ARM. But you don't have to
build the toolchains yourself. Use the existing ones.

I prefer a patch against the top of tree in CVS, but I  will  usually
also accept one against the latest officiel release.
