Hi Tom,

A long time ago, we had to use "i386" and "x86_64" toolchains for our x86 platforms, depending on the target. We then moved to being able to use the single "i386" toolchain to support all x86 platforms. At the same time, we had been building sandbox with our "x86_64" toolchain in CI. When x86 switched to being able to use a single toolchain we did not update our CI buildman file to match. Do this now as we want to ensure that sandbox is built with the same compiler version the rest of our platforms are and not the host one.

I'm posting this as an RFC to start the discussion as when I mentioned this to Simon on IRC, he was very much not in agreement.
My main argument is this, sandbox needs to use the same toolchain that we compile (virtually) all other platforms with as one of the points is to be able to catch warnings and compiler behavior changes as soon as possible in our CI. And just like how developers can use distribution-provided toolchains today, nothing changes in that regard, we only make CI be more consistent now.
OK, that makes some sense to me, actually. It isn't the toolchain that people will be using, but catching things earlier seems good.
The main concern I have is that we are not testing sandbox on the toolchain that everyone will be using. But I haven't noticed failures in CI which I cannot repeat locally, so we can cross that bridge when we come to it.
