Pretty sure this has been suggested in the past ;-) (http://www.mail-archive.com/openembedded-devel@lists.openembedded.org/msg02 876.html) but I'll say again, setting up Tinderbox (http://tinderbox.openembedded.net/) has to be a pretty good starting place to collaborate on build issues. It's really easy to setup (http://wiki.openembedded.net/index.php/How_do_I_send_automatic_success_and_ failure_reports) and the classes will automatically deal with uploading of your fail logs/build info etc. so you can refer others to it (and for that matter, see if others are building the same packages without issue).
