I think we want git-merge-juju to exercise multiple compilation
targets. We want to replace the lts-armd64 smoke-test with a more
rigorous set of runs with compilers and OSes:
    precise amd64 golang
    trusty i386 goland
    trusty amd64 golang
    trusty ppc64el gccgo
    win amd64 golang
by setting
    GOOS
    GOARCH
    -compiler

If you want to do more (run tests) then just move the CI unit-test
jobs into git-merge-juju responsibility and accept longer merge times.

Also, we don't cross-compile. Everything that is released is native
compiled, so CI tests that scenario. I am happy to add
cross-compilation to flag bad changes early, but we will continue to
test packages based on what will be released.
