If there's a makefile, it can run it.

There is a way to run the same build across different slaves with 
different machine architectures:

Well of course however long it takes to run that is how long you have to 
wait. Hudson might make it a bit easier to run FB on a separate slave, 
as a downstream job, so it does not slow down other jobs.

So if all changesets are preverified you don't need a separate 
continuous builder for much.
