Currently there is some support for Solaris (using the interpreter),
the build process on that platform may have been broken, though.
A detailed bug report could help us fixing it.
AIX could be supported with mostly the same code as MacOSX, but,
unless someone tries it and sends patches, I guess it won't compile
there.
HP-UX is waiting for someone to begin the port, see
http://www.go-mono.com/porting.html for instructions on starting the
port.
