Yes, anything we need to run in the build process.  Some of the other
architectures have some tools to verify generated binaries have
particular properties as well for example.

Yes, it's the standard pattern.

If you want to send a patch by all means, I don't think it's useful
though - it doesn't matter to the software and the main issue is taste
which is going to get considered regardless of what software says, if
people are happy with an identifer that hits some limit they're just
going to raise the limit.

I guess.  Given that this is merged that'd need to be an incremental
patch.

Please delete unneeded context from mails when replying.  Doing this
makes it much easier to find your reply in the message, helping ensure
it won't be missed by people scrolling through the irrelevant quoted
material.
