Hi,
Maybe consider running 'make check' in a pre-receive hook on the server.
Not so easy ... it's not good practice to just allow anyone with push privilege to execute code on the server like that. So a good system with proper separation etc ... would be non-trivial. Also, this would slow down pushes to a crawl since you'd need to actually build the thing and its dependencies ...
as an alternative, offer something like check_patch.pl of Linux kernel to the developer, but which not only checks for indentation/coding style but whihc also does the 'make check'. More reasonable and no load/security on the server.
