While I appreciate that you are trying to be helpful, this suggestion is not
actually constructive.

I'm benchmarking a system and if I use some custom compiled results, not only
does that add a lot of work to my plate (since I have no clue what condition
the source code is in), but it also makes my results much more difficult to
reproduce (and I'd need to install yet another set of tools on the test system).

I have enough problems with the system as it is, biting off more complexity can
only make things worse.

Now, if you happen to have the files needed for 3.7 beta 30, that would be quite
helpful and constructive.
