The 20080318 snapshot builds and tests OK on the following platforms:

RHEL 4/x86_64 w/ gcc
SLES 10/IA64 w/icc 9.1
Solaris 9/SPARC w/ Sun Forte compilers

It builds on AIX 5.3, but I haven't gotten through the regression tests
yet. (This is most likely due to my lack of familiarity with AIX.)

As noted previously, -fstack-protector-all is mistakenly used with the
Intel (icc) compiler. Here's the snippet from the config.log

configure:5418: checking if icc supports -fstack-protector-all
configure:5441: icc -o conftest -g -O2 -Wall -Wpointer-arith
-Wuninitialized -fstack-protector-al
l -Werror -no_cpprt -ldl -fstack-protector-all -Werror conftest.c >&5
icc: Command line warning: ignoring unknown option
'-fstack-protector-all'
icc: Command line warning: ignoring unknown option
'-fstack-protector-all'
configure:5447: $? = 0
configure:5453: result: yes
configure:5457: checking if -fstack-protector-all works
configure:5482: icc -o conftest -g -O2 -Wall -Wpointer-arith
-Wuninitialized -fstack-protector-al
l -no_cpprt -ldl -fstack-protector-all conftest.c >&5
icc: Command line warning: ignoring unknown option
'-fstack-protector-all'
icc: Command line warning: ignoring unknown option
'-fstack-protector-all'
configure:5485: $? = 0
configure:5491: ./conftest
configure:5494: $? = 0
configure:5496: result: yes

Apparently, Intel is managing to fool configure into detecting icc as
gcc, but -Werror is not causing the test to exit with a non-zero status.
