These targets might be deprecated but we should keep them building
before the final axe comes down. Lets keep them all in one place and
don't hold up the CI if they do fail. They are either poorly tested or
already flaky anyway.

It's kind of awkward to have the CI config need to be updated when
we mark a config as deprecated. Can we have something so that
the CI just arranges to build all of the deprecated targets?

(As demonstration, this list is missing unicore32, which is also deprecated.)

Also, "allow_failure: true" seems wrong to me. These targets
are only deprecated, which means we promise that the feature
should still work (to whatever extent it already did) for the 2
releases in which it is deprecated. We want our CI to tell us
if it fails to compile or fails tests, because we would need to
fix those bugs for a release.

thanks
