All is well so far.

Books that could use some testing are sparc, sparc64, all mips, and  
alpha (but we may remove alpha).

x86, and x86_64 multilib and pure64 have been tested
ppc and ppc64 pure64 have been tested. Multilib I may do later. I know  
it works from previous builds. Test results should be similar to ppc  
and ppc64.

Jonathan is attempting a sparc build.

I'll update trac tickets for the builds I have done.

Testsuite logs are here: http://cross-lfs.org/testsuite-logs/git/
