No. I think Randy Dunlap replied earlier that he spent considerable time weeding out broken drivers from an allyesconfig configuration. This still did not result in a bootable image.
If you want to build with allyesconfig and continue on when you run into errors, just use the -k (keep going) option with make.

Feel free to hack on the compregress.sh script to produce compilation results that would benefit what you are doing. It lives on the stability page.
