Hear, hear.  I can volunteer to set up a "daily build" for a all
modules, with logging going to a web page somewhere, if people believe
it would be useful.

Incidentally, I'm improving "autobuild" to make it possible for anyone
to "contribute" as a build host for any project, by submitting build
logs to a centralized web server.  Having people use it to build
gnulib on weird hosts would be useful.  Autobuild itself is discussed
at:

http://josefsson.org/autobuild/

The centralized build stuff is not yet integrated (or even written..).
Ideas and help on this are very much appreciated.  I can explain more
about my ideas too...  but some food for thought are these build
pages:

http://build.samba.org/?function=Recent+Builds;tree=samba4
http://curl.haxx.se/auto/
http://josefsson.org/autobuild-logs/shishi.html#shishi-0.0.30

The idea is to provide a project-independent build farm system.
