As always there are no absolutes. A run through of the failing systems on the pikefarm gives:
Some machines fail to build even a semi-working pike: sasserver2: HTTPLoop uses a mutex after it has been destroyed. orchid/icc8: Fails to compile master.pike.
Some machines fail to install a working pike: dan/static: Fails to load master object after installation.
Several machines crash during the resolver test: bigmac: No core - no hint what module. imac: No core - no hint what module. dbsrv1: Loading of ___Unicode.so causes errors in pike_types.c.
Some machines hang in the create_process() tests: dan: tlib/modules/testsuite: test 315. cbs-server: tlib/modules/testsuite: test 319.
Pike problems: Call-out leak in backend. Some modules and tests are not --without-bignums safe.
Individual problems: dan/icc: Crashes in the gdbm testsuite, test 6. domu: Timeout during connect test in closed mode. alpha: Process.create_process(): read(2) failed with ENODEV! Probable operating system bug. fonda: Unresolved symbol: __eprintf (code) from /usr/local/lib/libtiff.sl fonda/cc: Destruct order problems followed by crash. beta: Broken trig functions. beta: Broken Colors.rgb_to_cmyk(). moghedien: Same problems as beta. orchid/icc7: ___Image.so: undefined symbol: __kmpc_global_thread_num orchid/ticc: Tiny cc has problems with const. dbsrv1/cc: encode_value() loses precision in floats. kali: rntld seems to fail to link cross section borders. kali/static: Benchmark fails due to master()->_pike_file_name being zero.

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.
