	I actually tried to get Apache Yetus testing Apache Hadoop on =
the hadoop-win box last year.  (This was before qbt mode existed.)  I =
gave up because the components needed to build trunk weren't installed =
and it looked like the box itself was ill. I moved on to the Mac build =
which, while tricky, got it working with a bit of magic.  Then they took =
the Mac away.  IBM provided access to a PowerPC machine, so I moved onto =
the ppc64le build. After a lot of hand wringing, we got it up and =
running and stable enough to show how broken the build is by our usage =
of leveldbjni.

	It should be noted that getting infra support for non-Linux/x86 =
builds is a pretty major exercise in frustration.  They don't really =
have the time, those boxes tend to go down often, and rarely get =
updated. (The Solaris box is running a really old build of Solaris 10.  =
So old, that when it came out, I was still employed by Sun...)  If folks =
are actually serious about adding more platforms, then I'd suggest that =
some of these big vendors actually cough up some cash to move the =
precommit infrastructure off of the ASF and onto something more reliable =
with more platform diversity.=20=
