This has now happened, I've now got one machine running 8 childhurd VMs,
and another machine just running the one childhurd.

Builds for packages seem to be happening (see [1] and [2]), although I'm
suspicious some of the VMs are getting stuck sometimes, as I can't
always SSH in. There's also the GC not working issue, but both things
can be worked around by just restarting the VMs.

It would be useful to be able to compare builds for packages across
different architectures, to find instances where a package builds, but
not on all architectures, as those could be useful to know about (either
to try and fix, or change to just support the working architectures in
the package definition).
