Forgot to mention that maybe salmonella can be used too.  It fetches
the eggs from call/cc.org, builds and installs each (in its own test
repository).  It takes a long time and the results have to be manually
analyzed, since there are several causes for a build not succeed
(missing libraries, eggs bugs etc.).  But if salmonella reports
success for 200+ eggs, there are good changes the compiler is ok (at
least its basics). :-)

Best wishes,
