These are the ones I'm aware of: A/UX (0.7, which is complete, and 2.x, which is only the kernel) AIX 4.1.3 (most of the kernel and some of user space, possibly complete enough to build) BSD/OS (various versions, probably complete) DEC OSF/1 (1.0 and 2.0; these seem reasonably complete) DYNIX 3.x (several versions, possibly complete enough to build) DYNIX/PTX (4.x?; possibly complete enough to build) IRIX 6.5.5 (missing quite a few major packages and nowhere near complete enough to build) MIPS RISC/os 4.52 (possibly complete) SGI System V GL2-W3.7 (for the IRIS 3000 68K machines; probably complete) SunOS 4.1.3 (seems to be the complete base system) System V for the 3b2 (several 3.x versions, possibly complete) System V for the UNIX PC (3.51, possibly complete) System V/386 4.2 (possibly complete) ULTRIX-11 (at least 3.1) ULTRIX-32 (2.0, which has been confirmed to build by someone else, and 4.2, which is also fairly complete) I haven't looked at any of these in depth, so I'm not completely sure of the status of any of them except for A/UX and ULTRIX
