Indeed, but it happens regularly that builds break on different
platforms, and even more so because developers *don't build with all
features enabled* (while in theory they should always verify the entire
build before doing any commits).

Sure, triggering manually is a way, but it is even better to not have to
do that. Developers are lazy beings (hence they are developers).

With the amount of developers that we have commiting I think its
especially nice if our buildslaves would just build the moment they
don't have anything to do and are notified of changes.
