Perhaps I was exaggerating.  I've been thinking of adding
somewhere in http://elinks.cz/ a table like this:

  Platform     Tested release    Status or advice 
  --------     --------------    ---------------------------------------

  AIX          ?                 ?

  BeOS         ?                 ?

  Digital Unix ?                 ?

  FreeBSD      ELinks 0.11.1     Crashes with bug 919; fixed in 0.11.3.

  HP-UX        ?                 ?

  IRIX         ?                 ?

  Linux alpha  ELinks 0.9.1      Crashes with Debian bug 262514.

  Linux x86    ELinks 0.11.3     Debian bug 337159 may be Linux-specific.

  OpenBSD      ?                 ?

  OS/2         ?                 ?

  RISC OS      ELinks 0.4.2.99-1 Unix Porting Project offers binaries.

  SunOS        ELinks 0.11.3     Use gmake rather than make.  To avoid
                                 "config/install.sh: No such file or
                                 directory", either build outside
                                 the source directory or apply [link
                                 to patch].  Ignore "gcc: unrecognized
                                 option `-rdynamic'".

  Windows      ?                 ?

It might be good to mention the version of SunOS here, and
especially the type of processor, as ELinks has had trouble with
64-bit pointers in the past.

People installing ELinks should not have to look in this table;
all the bugs should be listed in bugzilla.or.cz and eventually
fixed, and the other information should be added to be INSTALL
file.  However, this would be a place for things that are found
only after a release.
