I've now made 27 build attempts for TeX Live 2014 on various flavors
of Unix, and can report success for these subdirectories under bin,
each of which has a name distinct from those in the TeX Live DVDs, to
reflect the architecture, O/S, and version number:

    i386-freebsd9           x86_64-linux-arch       x86_64-linux-opensuse12
    i386-linux-fedora19     x86_64-linux-debian6    x86_64-linux-redhat5
    i386-linux-redhat5      x86_64-linux-fedora19   x86_64-linux-redhat6
    i386-linux-ubuntu12     x86_64-linux-opensuse11 x86_64-linux-redhat7
    powerpc32-linux-gentoo2

The failing builds have died in the graphite code, or in the luajit
code.  There are no successes at all yet on DragonflyBSD, MirBSD,
NetBSD, OpenBSD, or Solaris.

I have yet to try a build on SGI IRIX MIPS, for which 2012 was the
last year a build succeeded.

At least for the mainstream GNU/Linux distributions, and FreeBSD, the
situation looks rosy.

I'm looking into creating a FreeBSD 10 x86-64 VM in the next few days.
