Don't forget architectures. One of the reasons I use to justify getting my
company's open source projects in distributions like Fedora and Debian
is to surface issues when compiling against various compiler+library+app
combo as you noted but as importantly, architecture specific issues.

Preserving the build artifacts so they can't be tampered with during the
test run is probably worthwhile though.
