Do we need r1 and r2 stages?
(Isn't r3 a thing now?)

Big endian only.

Do we need r1 and r2 stages?

How often are you building stages?
Resources aren't a problem but it takes a month to build everything?
Don't you have a 16 or 32-core build system? Cavium gave me ssh access
to one that I was planning to build stages on, but I never tried.
I guess I don't understand the problem you're facing.
