Agree. But I think it will be helpful to offer these links when it is
missing or not working on kernel.org.
I realized now that buildman is an effective and must-have tool. Every
developer should run buildman before submitting patches, though it does
take hours to run. The problem is that some toolchains are not easily
found until looking into tools/moveconfig.py. So we should make it
available.
Best regards,
Thomas
