I will give it a few quick tests.

The README says:

Tested on the following platforms
=================================

- Linux/AMD64 with GCC 4.1.2 and 4.3.2
- FreeBSD/i386 and AMD64 with GCC 3.4.6, 4.2.1 and 4.3.3
- Windows XP with MS Visual C++ 8.0, 9.0 and 10.0
- OpenSolaris 5.11 with Sun C++ 5.10 SunOS_i386 128229-02 2009/09/21,

...and...

Unsupported compilers
---------------------

log4cplus does not support too old and broken C++ compilers:

- Visual C++ prior to 7.1
- GCC prior to 3.2
- All Borland/CodeGear/Embarcadero C++ compilers


I will let you know what I learn.
