In the general case for Asterisk 1.4, I would expect that nightly builds that
are reasonably close to each other in age would work fine.  However, this is not
always the case, especially with Zaptel.  Just as we tell everyone to run the
latest release of everything together, I would say that you should run the
latest nightly builds of everything together.

(When it comes to Zaptel, Addons, And Libpri, there probably wouldn't be a
nightly build, as they don't change as often as Asterisk.  However, we could
have a check in the nightly cron job to see if there have been changes, and
build it if so.)
