Yes, that's indeed helpful as we actually plan to take an "opt-in"
approach, that is, enabling it only for those known to work.

This is a list of platforms I've confirmed to work correctly:

- FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE i386, gcc (GCC) 3.4.4 [FreeBSD] 20050518
- FreeBSD 7.0-RC1 amd64, gcc (GCC) 4.2.1 20070719  [FreeBSD]
- FreeBSD 8.0-RC1 ia64, gcc (GCC) 4.2.1 20070719  [FreeBSD]
- Linux 2.6.25 i686, gcc (Debian 4.3.2-1.1) 4.3.2
- Linux 2.6.18-6-amd64, gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21)
- SunOS 5.10 i86pc(amd64), Sun C 5.7 2005/01/07
- SunOS 5.10 i86pc(amd64), gcc (GCC) 3.4.2 (producing 32-bit code)

In general, I expect it should work on

- most x86/amd64/IA64 + gcc platforms (regardless of OS)
- most Linux variants (assuming the compiler is gcc, regardless of
  machine arch)

So, if it does NOT work on a platform that matches the above
condition, it's good to know.  Likewise, if it DOES works on a
platform that doesn't match the condition, it's also a good input.
Other results, which are actually expected but not yet confirmed, are
also appreciated.

Thanks once again,
