 Can we make a jenkins hook to email committers since the last successful
 build upon build failure?

 One reason that this has not been done in the past is because jenkins
 often has false positives in the form of dead/bad/incomplete build
 environments.

 So: How about this hook only bother to email people if a build has made it
 past ./configure and into actual compilation stage?

 Sure, there may be random things like ASAN executables that fail to run
 because of a bug in the new ASAN version for a platform, but that just
 means we should write autoconf tests to catch things like that.
