I just re-read your suggestion understanding it differently.
This "Matrix" could get very long.. we support a lot of combinations. I 
am personally a tester and debugger of the less usual stuff. Especially 
with gcc we can get currently very far.

I think this should live in the wiki instead, so it can be edited easily 
and cross-linked with relevant tutorials to build or configure it. I 
would leave out the "installation method" and referring to the table for 
building. Adding a note if e.g. packages are available and recommended 
for "Debian" (Linux is not debian).
I would add also architectures where relevant (e.g. ppc32, arm, etc... 
since it makes a difference with certain combinations)

I can help with a lot of data here in about a fortnight, when I plan to 
re-run full builds.
