As always there are no absolutes. A run through of the failing systems on the pikefarm gives:
Alpha computers have problems with floats. dmalloc currently finds a leak. Many non-gcc compilers fails. This is really not a priority IMHO. Solaris <9 fails the grubba process trace test.
- sasserver2.emsphone.com, AIX 5.2 dumpes core when building post modules. - earl-grey, Power Mac, Darwin 6.8 Problem with recognizing Gmp.mpz objects. Problem with Stdio.File->lock and ->trylock. - bimac, Power Mac, Darwin 7.3 Crash in testsuite. - dan.emsphone.com, i386, FreeBSD 5.2 Error in grubbas process-trace test. Crash in the Nettle module. (looks to me like strlen("$1$") crashes) - alpha.home.oav.net, alpha, FreeBSD 5.2 Inf/Nan appears to be broken. A Process test fails ("Probable operating system bug.") Error in the grubba process trace test. Crash in the Nettle module. (again looks like strlen to me) - fonda.roxen.com, HP-UX Unresolved symbol int64_from_bignum in Shuffler Unresolved symbol __eprintf in Image.Tiff Poll related core dump. - cbs-server.dmz.cbc, i686, Linux 2.4 Thread-related crash. - dbsrv1.emsphone.com, alpha, OSF1 Float problem (I guess). Crash in what appears to be in type generation code. - kali.roxen.com, i686, Windows NT Nonstaitc fails to build the image module. Kludge by adding the lib objs to the module makefile?
It is enough for me for a release if Solaris 8 and Windows gets green.

Make a checklist of what needs to be fixed before the branch...?
