Well, I couldn't find a public compile farm, but I did find a method to make your own (I think). The link here talks about a distributed compiler for making compiler farms. I would be interested in starting in one myself, but I'd have to do much thinking and planning first.

For a single project you really don't need a lot of computers, or even dedicated ones.

My webserver does the nightly builds for my OS (as well as cache updates and other stuff). It only costs me some 5 minutes of elevated CPU load per day. I don't need a compile farm for that... Only shell access (free hosting, anyone?)

Unless you guys have other plans for that?

Well, I need to test the compiling and execution of a project on different archs... I need to do this because my project is meant to be very portable, yet I haven't tested it on anything but x86
