They were posted against RC3 and the problems are still the same in RC4. Affected systems: Solaris 8, FreeBSD 6, NetBSD 3, OpenBSD 4, MacOSX/Darwin (unknown, per http://darkrainfall.org/php_test_results_valgrind.txt) As the VERY least, you may want to mention gcc version that the sources are compatible with and platforms the resulted binaries won't run.
