I don't think you can do anything about the buildbots, they seem to be running 
although somewhat slowly.  The major problem with the buildbots for OSX is that 
it seems that for the most part OSX specific issues linger until I get around 
fixing them.  That's not completely fair, Ned also does some bugfixing when he 
has time, but it is worrysome that such a major platform gets so little 
attention from developers (both the core developers and the rest of the 
community).
