Please note that I haven't been able to build a 64-only version of Emacs on Solaris amd64; Emacs 22.X crashes during the autoload stage of the bootstrap process, when I try to build a 64-bit binary on Solaris. Nevertheless, I can definitely help with writing the text for 32-bit builds for Solaris and FreeBSD. For other systems, I may need some help from people who are more experienced in their use, and have more current installations than me.
