Been there, done that.  The build uses 13 different platforms (Sun, AIX, Tandem, zOS, Linux, HPUX, DecUnix, SCO Unix, Unixware, VAX, etc.).  Not going to happen.  

BTW, binary compares of executables build on two different systems is a non-starter since most compilers tend to imbed datestamps into the objects.

Good ideas though.

Wayne specifically talked about build artifacts.  Adding 4gb daily to
GIT is not fun and to SVN might be downright impossible.

However, this brings out another question: why can't you run the build
on both sites?  You can have only one site produce the 'blessed
release', but for nightlies, you might be better off to do it locally,
maybe even comparing the checksums of the binaries every once in a while.

Cheers,
