I compiled Emacs successfully on the two systems described below. Yet I was wondering: what information is generally useful here to characterize "one's build platform"? I copied some information from buffers created via `report-emacs-bug' - obviously a clumsy procedure. Could it facilitate this process if there was a command `report-emacs-build' that gathers the relevant information in a mail buffer, similar to `report-emacs-bug'? Possibly, a command `report-emacs-build-success' was really sufficient, because build failures most often might deserve a bug report.
