Well, I think this is one of the main motivations from something like
what Thomas F. Herbert proposed in another thread recently,

  DPDK: Proposal for a patch patch-test integration tree

basically, a continuous-integration-type of system should test-build
(and probably test) any prospective patch to see that it builds for
various targets. In my view, this would be a perfect match for
github+travis-ci.


Anyway, I'll see if I can dig up an older Ubuntu to build on, unless
someone else steps up and tests the patch. (My issue to start with was
that the build fails on a 14.04 chroot on a 12.04 host, but I only have
access to the chroot there).
