Which operating systems does MySQL support?

We use GNU autoconf so it is possible to port MySQL to all modern systems with working Posix threads and a C++ compiler. The client code requires C++ but not threads. We use/develop the software ourselves primarily on Sun Solaris (versions 2.5 & 2.6) and some on RedHat Linux 5.0.

The following OS/thread packages have been reported to compile MySQL successfully. Note that for many OSes the native thread support only works in the latest versions.
