I used to actively report results for buildstat for a number of
architectures, but stopped after GCC 5 as running testsuite on non-x86
boxes started to take too much time (on top of increased GCC bootstrap
time). Also personally I didn't find testsuite results much useful,
instead it's much easier (and more interesting :) to discover GCC bugs
by making full distro rebuilds and using them.

I still do try to report a successful build for each release (as
instructed in https://gcc.gnu.org/install/finalinstall.html), but I
guess you can only see those reports by reading the gcc mailing list.
