I've stopped validating locally, allowing Travis to do it for me. If you use a `wip/...` branch and push to the main GHC repo, you can find build reports at travis-ci.org/ghc/ghc. Or, I'm sure if you clue Travis in, this can also work if you push to your own GitHub fork of GHC.
Admittedly, this is a bad workflow if you're expecting a bunch of extraneous-import failures (and such) during validation, but I just wanted to make sure you knew of this option.
