once upon a time, SF offered CF (compile farm).
it was a collection of ~10 platforms sharing a file system.
the platforms were mostly i386 and amd64 with linux and *bsd.
there might have been a sparc and an alpha too.
I set up a nightly cron job on the file server which did "cvs up" and a build 
job on each platform.
the script is attached.
I did not reconfigure nightly.
on failure the stdout of the script was non-empty, so I got an email from cron, 
logged into the CF and rebuilt the dir from scratch when necessary.
