We use Travis CI to test architectures that are not available through other
CI providers, in particular aarch64 and s390x. Testing aarch64 is very
important, because we provide a JIT implementation for it. Testing s390x is
useful, because it is a big-endian architecture.

The build page you are looking for is
https://app.travis-ci.com/github/php/php-src. Just like other CI runs, it
is linked from GitHub's commit CI interface, so I'm not sure why you got
the impression that it does not run builds.

It's unfortunate that we need to use multiple CI providers, because a
single one does not offer all relevant architectures and operating systems
(Cirrus CI is used for their FreeBSD support).

Regards,
Nikita
