there are several idle ARM buildslaves.  There are the following slaves:

gcc35:        # 1TB     0.8  GHz Freescale i.MX515 (ARM Cortex-A8) / 512 MB RAM 
/ Efika MX Client Dev Board

gcc50:        # 250G     0.6  GHz ARM XScale-80219 / 512 MB RAM / Thecus N2100 NAS

gcc55:        # 250G     1.2  GHz ARM Feroceon 88FR131 (kirkwood) / 512 MB RAM / 
Marvell SheevaPlug

gcc56:        # 320G     1.2  GHz ARM Feroceon 88FR131 (kirkwood) / 512 MB RAM / 
Marvell SheevaPlug

gcc57:        # 320G     1.2  GHz ARM Feroceon 88FR131 (kirkwood) / 512 MB RAM / 
Marvell SheevaPlug

I can give you access to these machines if you like (send me your public ssh
key).

Ciao, Duncan.
