Build on one, distribute to others can be risky if they are not at the same

Are you doing many machines? If so, and they all use the same OS, why not build 
on one, and just distribute the build to all the others?

Just sharing :)

In our case, it's all the same revision/OS (RHEL 5.x) -- we have both 32- and 64-bit to contend with, therefore 2 separate builds and NFS exports. The ideal case being to import that directory tree and use that in production instead of having to roll out to each system (we do perl and other finicky builds).
