You can add:

SunOS sauron 5.5.1 Generic sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-2

with mod_perl to that list.  Been up about an hour.  Looks good.

Compiled, but not tested on:

  Solaris 2.5.1, gcc
  Solaris 2.5.1, Sunpro cc

I tried it on SGI and had a boatload of problems, but I fear it's more due
to our GCC and CC installation being funked up, rather than problems in the
code.  
If someone could compile it on SGI just to make sure, it would warm my heart.

All modules (except mod_auth_msql + mod_example, which I didn't test) compile
cleanly with -Wall.

I guess that's a +1.

ps - with anoncvs being set up, it would be Real Cool if we had a network
of folks who ran nightly compile reports on various OS's, and mailed us
output.  If there's serious surgery being done we could set up a flag file
whose existance would indicate "don't compile tonight".  I'm thinking, for
example, Sequent could set this up, or anyone running Lynx OS, or SCO, or
any other less-frequently-used-OS.
