builders for 3.20 are up soon 3 months ago

From Natanael Copa to ~alpine/devel

Hi!

I am bootstrapping the builders for 3.20 now.

This means that we are now in a toolchain feature freeze for 3.20.
Please don't push anything major (anything you wouldn't push to a
stable branch) in the dependency chain for build-base and abuild. Eg.
make, cmake, gcc, bison, flex, etc.

We can still make ABI breaking updates of the other packages.

Thanks!
