The README file says that the MAKEALL script should be run before submitting any patch.
Right.
Looking closer at this, reveals that the MAKEALL script will only test the PowerPC builds. Not anything else (unless an argument to MAKEALL is provided).
It will do what you tell it. It will test a single board, a list of boards, a complete architecture, or a list of architectures, or any combination of these.
Does this mean that a patch that is only test built on PowerPC is considered acceptable?
No. If your patch adds or changes an ARM board and modifies global ARM specific files you are requested to build at least for the whole ARM architecture; if you modify global files you are requested to test all architectures.
I am aware that this is a theoretical request, as probably nobody has allthe required toolchains installed to test *all* systems.
But please test-build as many as possbible.
