+A few system-specific issues have been noted.  These may be PSPP bugs

+    * On Solaris, one or more tests may fail `make check'.  We have
+      only seen this reported on Solaris 9 with GCC 3.4.2.  Our
+      reporter says that turning off optimization (with -O0) at least
+      masked the symptoms.
+
+    * On Mac OS X, GCC 4.0.0 build 4061 has been observed to cause
+      some tests to fail.  Later builds should work fine.
