Add NetBSD to all the above.  And yes GNU/Linux x86-64 is being used (I
just currently do not have access to run that NSProxy/NSDecimal test
atm). 

And yes, I've debugged on both SPARC and SPARC64 for folks.

WRT Windows, I think you'll need to differentiate MinGW and Cygwin and
32/64-bit.

David Wetzel is using it on production servers.

I believe Matt Rice tried to port to HURD and it's definitely a platform
we should aim to support but I'm not sure if this was more than an
experiment since this report still is unresolved:

Not sure about those, but I'm sure Riccardo will list a few more... (I
think hppa among others).  And I'd expect (Open)Solaris on x86/x86-64.
You also missed Darwin and derivatives.

But I think the best approach is if we collect this information on the
wiki (potentially with a contact of a tester per platform).

Cheers,

since I want ObjC on my router :-) but that more of goody)
