Building it natively is neither expected nor sought.  However, both of
you should be looking at that web page for every single release.

The "annual checkup" is looking at every regtest on:
  http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/input/regression/collated-files.html
or
  
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/input/regression/collated-files.pdf

Due to the filesize and certain web browser's instability, you might
prefer to look at the pdf.
