I wouldn't mind emails either, but why not have the build tool just
send the brokenness notification to sbcl-devel, the way humans do when
they notice something is broken? It shouldn't happen often enough to
be an annoying source of noise, and sometimes some random reader of
sbcl-devel might want to know that version x.y.z is not a good choice
to check out and build, or might even have a patch.
