Here's what I've got so far:

Operating system      HW      C compiler  Installation  Tests  Eggs
--------------------+--------+------------+-------------+------+----
Ubuntu 14.04         x86-64     gcc 4.8.2        ok        ok     ok
Ubuntu 14.04         x86-64     clang 3.4        ok        ok     ok
Haiku R1/alpha4       x86       gcc 4.6.3        ok        ok     ok
GNU Hurd              x86       gcc 4.8.2        ok        ok     ok
Debian Wheezy        x86-64     gcc 4.7.2        ok        ok     ok
Debian Wheezy        x86-64     clang 3.0        ok        ok     ok
Linux Mint 16        x86-64     gcc 4.8.1        ok        ok     ok
Linux Mint 16        x86-64     clang 3.2        ok        ok     ok
Windows 8.1 (mingw)   x86       gcc 4.8.1        ok        ok     ok
Yocto 1.6 (*)      i.MX6 Quad   gcc 4.8.2        ok        --     ok

(*) I used the Freescale's Community Yocto BSP
(https://github.com/Freescale/fsl-community-bsp-platform) and the
meta-chicken layer (https://github.com/OSSystems/meta-chicken) to
cross-compile CHICKEN from x86-64 to ARM Cortex-A9 (wandboard-quad:
http://wandboard.org/).  The Yocto recipe for CHICKEN doesn't run tests,
that's why you see '--' in the table.

Best wishes.
Mario
