We use GNU Autoconf so it is possible to port MySQL to all modern
systems with working Posix threads and a C++ compiler. (To compile only the
client code, a C++ compiler is required but not threads.) We use and develop
the software ourselves primarily on Sun Solaris (versions 2.5 & 2.6) and to a
lesser extent on RedHat Linux 5.0.
MySQL has been reported to compile sucessfully on the following
operating system/thread package combinations. Note that for many operating
systems, the native thread support works only in the latest versions.

AIX 4.x with native threads
-
BSDI 2.x with the included MIT-pthreads package
