I do see a potential advantage here cropping up... it would allow Linus to at least see if his code will build on each platform before it goes out, and with minimal effort on his part. He could just throw up the source and have Tinderbox churn away on machines across the globe, of all architectures and with a WIDE selection of hardware. Within a few minutes (perhaps 5), he'd know about any big glaring "driver for NIC XYZ on platform ABC doesn't compile" bugs immediately.
Something like this wouldn't have to be continuous (like Mozilla), but just something he can trigger before releases.
