Well if you (or anyone else for that matter) are bored and have some
spare CPU cycles, I'd appreciate knowing if there are any portability
problems in this GPL'ed program of mine to UNIX hardware.

http://atlc.sourceforge.net/

Run:

$ ./configure --with-threads
$ make
$ make check // This runs about 90 self-tests.

It has been tested only on the following, so if anyone else can check
it on other hardware/software, I'd like to know about it.

Sun's Solaris on 32-bit SPARC, 64-bit SPARC and x86
Linux - Redhat, Mandrake, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo
Cray's UNICOS 9 on a Cray Y-MP
IBM's AIX 5.2 on an RS/6000 7025 F50
HP's HP-UX 11 on a HP C3000 PA-RISC, as well as some Itanium box.
HP's Tru64 5.1B on a Dec Alpha Personal Workstation 600a
Apples OSX - no idea what machine
SCO's Unixware - PC of some sort I guess.
SGI's IRIX 6.5.16 on an Octane R10000
NetBSD on SPARC and x86
OpenBSD on SPARC + others
FreeBSD on EV67 Alphastation

An earlier version has been compiled for a Sony Playstation 2 running
NetBSD, but I don't know if the current release will run on that.
Note, although the .tar.gz is only about 2.5 Mb, it extracts to about
190 Mb, so will need around 200 Mb of disk space to build and test.
