Yes, I agree, and there is.  It's really simple:  frysk always builds; 
frysk's testsuite always passes.

Of course there has to be a little slack here, for instance: on RHEL 4 
there is no ECJ; and some of the tests exhibit occasional race-condition 
based failures (as our coverage expands they are reduced); and multi-isa 
support is currently open.

However, for FC-5 and FC-6 (test 1 available), ECJ should be installed 
ensuring that the build is always possible.  I'll add eclipse-ecj to the 
explicit list of packages to install on those systems.
