+ On MacOS X 10.5 and later systems, you can create libraries and
+executables that work on multiple system types--known as "fat" or
+"universal" binaries--by specifying multiple `-arch' options to the
+compiler but only a single `-arch' option to the preprocessor. Like
+this:

+using the `lipo' tool if you have problems.

+On HP-UX, the default C compiler is not ANSI C compatible. If GNU CC is
+not installed, it is recommended to use the following options in order
+to use an ANSI C compiler:
+
+ ./configure CC="cc -Ae"

+and if that doesn't work, install pre-built binaries of GCC for HP-UX.

+ On OSF/1 a.k.a. Tru64, some versions of the default C compiler cannot
+parse its `<wchar.h>' header file. The option `-nodtk' can be used as
+a workaround. If GNU CC is not installed, it is therefore recommended
+to try
