Our toolchain maintainers are happy to support amd64 as-is.
All buildds except one (ancina) are at the same location. Machine redundancy is sufficient.
Our toolchain maintainers are happy to support i386 as-is.
Kernel has obviously a large community which supports it. gcc has upstream support, the kfreebsd-specific part is only a few hundred lines long. glibc is done by us (mostly Petr Salinger).
Need to re-evaluate the situation with mips and mipsel in two months. There is a hardware offer currently being discussed with DSA (and would also resolve the concerns from DSA), looks like heading in the right direction. Up to that implemented, mips and mipsel is just keeping up with unstable and experimental on most days.
According to the gcc maintainer 32bit code generation as we use it is no longer supported upstream and we should aim for a switch to 64bit userland anytime soon.
