   Challenge time:

   to build the latest Emacs from git (emacs-30 branch) on a 32b CPU laptop with the last 32b Ubuntu on it (18.04).

   This will require building newer autotools, etc. We'll see if that is even possible on this.

   Oh, just to add a bit of RAM spice into it - we are on 512 MB of RAM and spinnign HDD 😄

     @kotrcka You don't need #GNU auto tools to compile #GNU Emacs.

     Generate the files on another host, transfer, and compile as if it was a norma release on the lower end machine.

     @amszmidt it worked with the ones in Ubuntu, so no problem. 3 hours later, I am already on 30.0.92 😄
