Are you referring to offloading builds or using a replacement to
hydra.gnu.org for serving substitutes?

Offloading builds seems like a good enough solution for now, but I'm
not sure if there is support for offloading i686 builds to an x86_64
machine.

I want to have this up and running before the release.  I'm so close,
just need to get over this last (fingers crossed) hurdle.
