Meanwhile I continue to ponder porting android to Hexagon and such, and would
want it to "just work" as much as possible. (Yeah bionic would need new stuff,
but llvm already has https://twitter.com/landley/status/1062570074752589824 ) So
"build from source in a genericish way" is worth extra cycles from me when it's
low hanging fruit...

I'm told the mac mini is back. Alas their cheapest/crappiest one is $800 so I'm
not likely to get it. But as an ssh-able test machine, there should be one in a
lab somewhere? (How do you regression test the mac build now?)
