FWIW, I have a script I use to ensure this for long-lived branches:

=======
#!/bin/sh

base="${1:-master}"
shift

GIT_EDITOR="sed -i -e '/^pick/p;/^pick/cexec ./build.sh'"
export GIT_EDITOR

exec git rebase -i "$( git merge-base HEAD "$base" )"
=======

A 'build.sh' script (provided by you) is run after each commit and stops
on any commit which fails to build.
