If you've found the Sourceforge Compile Farm a bit lacking in
the numbers of systems available, I highly recommend the HP
testdrive program (ok, to be fair, it was originally the DEC
testdrive program to allow you to play with OSF/1 on Alphas, 
then the Compaq testdrive program, but HP's added a bunch of 
their own systems to it, as well as a wide variety of the free
linux and bsd variants). I've appended the list of systems that 
are currently available to the bottom of this list. mwh and I 
have been using these to track down all manner of wacky O/S-
dependent errors.
