It is pretty much dead code then. It would be a good idea to be a bit more strict on this, i.e. not let archs linger in mainline if not properly maintained. I would go even as far as requiring some public CI logs for all architectures building -next/-rc as proof that some configuration actually builds with some compiler, even if the compiler is not an upstream one.
