Here's some results from rarer operating systems

 * AIX 5.3 on PowerPC (no problems)
 * HP-UX 11.11B on PA-RISC (no problems)
 * OpenSolaris on x86 (no problems)
 * Solaris 10 on SPARC (test failure)

Here's more detailed results.

============ No problem on these ==================
1) Builds and passes all tests on a Sun Ultra 27 (quad core 3.33 GHz Xeon) 
running OpenSolaris 06/2009 using gcc 4.6.0 with a 32-bit build.

2) Same as #1, but this time with a 64-bit build (compiler flag -m64 added to 
gcc)

3) Builds and passes all tests on a Sun Ultra 27 (quad core 3.33 GHz Xeon) 
running OpenSolaris 06/2009 using Sun Studio 12.1 compiler (32-bit build)

4) Same as #3, but this time with a 64-bit build (compiler flag -m64 added to 
Sun's compiler cc)

5) Builds and passes all tests on an IBM RS/6000 (PowerPC) 7025/F50 running AIX 
5.3 using gcc 4.2.4. This has four 32-bit CPUs with 3 GB RAM, so only a 32-bit 
build. I don't have a copy of IBM's compiler, so can't check with that.

6) Builds and passes all tests on HP-UX 11.B on an HP C3600 using gcc 4.3.4. 
This is a 64-bit CPU, but I only have gcc built to create 32-bit binaries (one 
needs to rebuild gcc to create 64-bit binaries on HP-UX as the two sets of 
binaries are fundamentally different and there's no compiler flag for gcc that 
one can use to switch between them)


==========  Problems with Solaris 10 SPARC =============

1) Builds fine as a 32-bit application on Solaris 10 update 5 (Solaris 10 5/09 
s10s_u7wos_08 SPARC) on a Sun T5240. This has 16 cores. This is a 32-bit build 
using gcc 4.5.1.

HOWEVER, it fails one of the tests.

make: *** [check-recursive] Error 1

2) Same for a 64-bit build on this machine, when the -m64 flag is added to gcc. 
Again that test fails.

3) Again if using the Sun compiler, that test fails.
