Legend:
?   ... unknown or untested
-   ... no
Y   ... yes
Y/n ... tests with n failures
Y*n ... s. remarks below

Platform is "OS-processor-compiler" or a unique shortcut.

B8 are Processor flags
B   ... Processor is big endian
8   ... opcode_t is 8 byte, i.e. a 64 bit machine
4   ... opcode_t is 4 byte, --m=32 on a 64 bit machine

Thr   ... Parrot is multi-threaded
Sig   ... Parrot catches a SIGHUP signal
Comp  ... Compiles ok
Test  ... Runs "make test"
Inst  ... "make install" is ok

YYYYMMDD  The date tested.

Remarks:
*n/a

The following configurations are also working on x86/linux (and possibly
other platforms):
optimized build: perl Configure.pl --optimize
system malloc:   perl Configure.pl --gc=libc

darwin8.11.0-ppc-4.0 passes all tests without --optimize but fails one test with --optimize
