Actually we have:
armhf-ubuntu20_04 and armhf-ubuntu22_04 to build GDB and
ubuntu22_04-armhf to build GCC

The containers we use to build GDB have less cores than the ones we use 
for GCC. If we add binutils builders on the same workers as GDB, will 
they cooperate nicely (as in "do not compete for CPU", ie. be scheduled 
at different times)?

If yes, maybe it makes sense to add binutils builders to:
armhf-ubuntu20_04
armhf-ubuntu22_04
arm64-ubuntu20_04
arm64-ubuntu22_04

WDYT?

Thanks,

Christophe
