Heh, last week I had the opposite..

IMHO, it is more valuable to run a build on the full distro stack than
to try and inject old compiler variations into travis. Old system
libraries are just as likely to fail a build as the compiler.

I don't have any way to do that automatically. IMHO Travis is not able to
handle that sort of workload.

Perhaps a pre-release pass through OBS or something like it is the answer here?
