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
