for gnulib (IMO) is automated testing on 20 different platforms.
Of course everybody wishes to have a CI for 20 different platform :-)
For real VMs with other OSes running, you can
- set up your own VMs 'at home'
- pay for customizable VMs and CPU power
- find a sponsor to pay for VMs and CPU power

I work on a project called PreTest ( http://pretest.nongnu.org/ )
which provides pre-configured virtual machines for many
operating-systems (all with same user/pw, 'sudo', and git/make/cc
installed - so you can boot it and start compiling immediately).
List of available VMs:
http://pretest.nongnu.org/downloads/
Usage example:
http://pretest.nongnu.org/command-line-qemu.html
And, when people post messages to 'platform-test...@gnu.org',
I try to run against all these VMs, with results automatically
collected here:

Simon had an autobuild site [1][2], but it appears to be offline now.

My long-term plan is to setup something like that myself
(time and resources permitting). I hope to get it working
towards the end of this year.
