Would it be hard to make it just compile on other platforms ?

Rationale: let the CI spot as much possible errors as possible.
(of course, it can't tell whether these drivers actaully work)

By the way: I still like to add netbsd to the CI - major blocker
is lack of a suitable cloud image, where we can directly ssh into
w/o any authentication. (f.d.o folks don't like to host custom
images that cant be automatically reproduced - we'd need some
"official" ci/cloud image similar to what freebsd is providing)

Did anybody check whether they compile against latest xserver source ?

In case you're very bored and need something to do, feel free to send me
patches for xorg-testing-ground (*1) for adding these drivers to the
build :)
