FSF CFarm results

FSF graciously granted me access to their compile farm. So far, the Egel interpreter doesn't compile on a lot of machines because it relies on a lot of modern software.

It needs cmake (3.13), libicu (65.0), and libfmt (8.0) and those are not installed on the majority of machines.

I also get wildy varying results back on the performance of the microbenchmark million.eg (summation of a list of the first million integers). Below, the results:

gcc185.fsffrance.org (centos, aarch64)   - succesful compile and local install. 22 sec on million

gcc202.fsffrance.org (debian, sparc64)   - succesful compile and local install. 1.22 min on million

gcc203.fsffrance.org (debian, powerpc64) - succesful compile and local install. 25 sec on million

I'll try a number of other machines (some I am interested in seem to be down). Next steps are to create rpm and deb packages.
