We have an internal tool that does a mass rebuild test of the whole
distribution every night, by creating a chroot build environment from the
current package set, and then rebuilding all those packages inside that
chroot. Logs are saved from the build failures, and it all goes up on a
nice web page, etc.

At some point I'd like to start making the results public. Once the web
site gets sorted out, this will be easier to do.
