Treeherder isn't loading for me right now, but someone else who looked said it seemed fine.

Yes, to see that it compiles. Different platforms use different compilers, and maybe sometimes different compiler versions, and they treat different things as errors. Compiling the code on all platforms is usually a good resources-safety tradeoff. (Ideally all tests would be run on all platforms, but it overloads the try servers.)

Sounds good!
