Not really. I build a powerpc ppc64_defconfig and an x86_64 allmodconfig between merging most trees. At the end of the day, I do the following builds before releasing linux-next: powerpc allnoconfig powerpc64 allnoconfig powerpc ppc44x_defconfig powerpc allyesconfig i386 defconfig sparc64 defconfig sparc defconfig Which clearly doesn't cover all possible configs, but is a start and catches a lot (the powerpc allyesconfig is only 64 bit). Then after release, linux-next gets built for a lot of architectures and configs (see http://kisskb.ellerman.id.au/kisskb/branch/9/). A couple of people also do randconfig builds which find all sorts of things. -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell sfr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.canb.auug.org.au/~sfr/
