- earl-grey, Power Mac, Darwin 6.8 Problem with recognizing Gmp.mpz objects. Problem with Stdio.File->lock and ->trylock.
lock()/trylock() is an OS issue with NFS file systems and it's solved in OS X 10.3. However, I'd like to keep earl-grey on 10.2.8 since we need to build Pike binaries which are backwards compatible with 10.2 for Roxen customers.
Bignum is a mystery since earl-grey builds 7.4 with zero problems in this area. Or is 7.5 using its own GMP tree instead of /usr/local/lib/libgmp.a?

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.
