The best defense against build breakages and bitrot is the buildbot
that runs daily builds and reports errors.  These builds are now
include maintainer trees (e.g. Kevin's block tree and Michael
Tsirkin's pci tree) - that means broken patches will be weeded out
before they are merged into qemu.git/master.

The level of coverage depends on volunteers adding machines for host
OSes they care about.  For example, we're missing *BSD and Windows
(even mingw cross-compile).

Do you want to add a buildslave to cover the host you care about?  For
