Well, if you don't get time, don't worry about it too much.  I'd say
that with any newish *nix system (for uncertain values of 'newish',
but certainly inludes stuff from this millennium), it's a pretty good
bet that if it compiles, it'll run pretty much like on any other.  And
if for some reason it does blow up some way that we haven't seen on
other systems, it's probably not because that system is screwy, but
that there's a real bug that just doesn't happen to trigger as often
on other systems.

So, a compile test maybe isn't _quite_ as good as a run test, which
isn't as good as a "run for a couple weeks" test, it's probably 90 or
95 or 99%.
