We're using the latest previous major release line to build
releases, so 2.068.x build 2.069.x, builds 2.070.x, ..., builds
2.075.0. You might get away with skipping versions, but that's
not how the releases were built.
Bootstrapping the compiler to run on new architectures requires
cross-compliation, but it's less of an interest than
cross-compiling for a different architecture.
