I'm not convinced it matters at all. Self hosting on an embedded
architecture is, as has been mentioned, pretty pointless.

Using a kernel compile as a test isn't such a great idea. Stress tests
of that kind are not particularly useful for pinning down bugs - so
your kernel compile failed, what now? Far better to use LTP tests or
similar that are designed to be reproduceable and tunable for your
system. For example I don't think I'll ever be able to self host a
kernel build on a board with only 32Mb of on-board RAM.
