Not sure how much memory ldc takes to build.  If it would be 
helpful for ARM I could contribute a couple of servers on 
scaleway or similar.  I get a lot of value from LDC and would 
like to be able to have mature platform for android ARM too, so 
happy to contribute some small thing back.   Android servers also 
interesting longer term, though I couldn't yet find anything 
interesting vs what's available on Intel.  (I rent bare metal 
fairly beefy servers from  OVH). Just let me know if it would be 
helpful.

Gitlab has test runners built in, at least for enterprise version 
(which is not particularly expensive) and we have been happy with 
that.
