Just the listed architectures! That means, currently glibc/Linux and OSF/1 5.1.
I may also be working on Solaris and HP-UX. Someone else will have to AIX.

Running all tests and reporting the build logs is a fine thing to do once
every 3 to 12 months, so that we get a status. Other than that, it would
also be useful
  (a) to actually investigate the failures and provide fixes for selected
      platforms (this would be most welcome for AIX),
  (b) to do these builds regularly (perhaps once per week) and submit
      the logs to Simon's autobuild publishing daemon, so that they appear
      at <http://autobuild.josefsson.org/gnulib/>. This would help
      against the accumulation of small bugs that we have seen in the
      past year.
