PG 8.1 supported platforms list: IRIX is MIA
The 8.1 supported-platforms list is looking pretty good, I think -- we
don't have updates for every single combination of OS and hardware,
but we have updates for every OS and at least one instance of all
supported CPU types.
Except IRIX. There's been no port report since Robert Bruccoleri
confirmed PG 7.4 worked. If we can't get a confirmation of that
I fear we ought to drop it down to the "unsupported" list.
Can anyone test 8.1RC1 on IRIX?

Not to pester overly...
AIX 5.3 has had results reported, and entries for doc/FAQ_AIX
submitted; none of that is yet included :-(.

I don't know if this fills in any of the gaps, but...
We passed regression tests with 8.1RC1 on dual hyperthreaded
Xeon systems. One had SUSE 9.3 Professional; the other had
Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition (Service Pack 1).
Both had 8 GB RAM and six disk drives set up as RAID 5.
Configure switches were:
--enable-integer-datetimes
--enable-debug
--disable-nls
On SUSE we also had:
--with-python
If it would be helpful to have more info, let me know.

Done. Sorry for the delay.

On a separate matter, I did a simple regression (--enable-cassert) of cvs
tip on SunOS 5.8, seems no problem. I found the only thing related in our
document is that "SunOS 4 is not supported in 2001". Shall we add something
in doc?

I had a colleague test for me on his IRIX (6.5?) MIPSPRO machine. The
following regression tests fail:

Hm, looks like strtod() has some bizarre behavior for input "infinity"
on that machine (NOT just failing to recognize it, but doing something
actively incorrect --- we've seen such bugs on Solaris).
I had a success report from someone else on Friday, so maybe this
problem is confined to specific IRIX versions?

Perhaps. This was version 6.5.28 running on an Octane.
