+### Reporting build failures
+
+As buildsystem / core packages (toolchain) / random libraries change from time to time, it is required
+that you always do a clean build (make clean) before reporting build failures. Also make sure that you
+have a clean, unmodified git clone, we can't fix bugs caused by you failed to merge / rebase on
+your own fork.
