why you read "google build tools cannot be built from source and it was compiled with an optional optimizations as required" and assume the right thing to do is to buy newer servers?

I'm not assuming anything, this is from a ticket for fdroid on google:

> Our machines run older server grade CPUs, that indeed do not support the newer SSE4_1 and SSSE3.[0]

I.e. the problem is because fdroid have older CPUs, newer ones would be able to build. I only mentioned it in terms of what the plans to fix might be. I have zero idea if upgrading servers is the best way to go.
