Windows XP has been past end of life for quite some time. Nevertheless I 
have kept my instance running with three buildfarm members: frogmouth, 
currawong and brolga. Howeever, a recent commit (apparently fa2fa99, but 
I'm not 100% sure) started causing a compiler segmentation fault on 
frogmouth, the mingw/gcc-4.5.0 animal running on this machine.


I could try to remedy the problem, either by making a patch or updating 
the compiler, or I could retire frogmouth and keep the other animals 
running, or I could simply retire the machine. We have coverage of more 
modern instances of all these animals, so shutting down the machine 
probably wouldn't be any great loss, and would lessen my maintenance 
burden a bit :-).


Does anyone have any strong opinion in favor of keeping any of these 
animals running?


cheers
