Also: if you're running OSX, Leopard will work, but Snow Leopard won't. My assumption is that it's because XCode on Leopard makes 32-bit builds by default, whereas Snow Leopard is all 64-bit. Haven't tried it on Tiger. 32-bit BSD variants might be worth looking into as well, if you're bored.
RLdev
used to be buildable on 32-bit Windows under Cygwin (since that was Haeleth's development platform), but the required version of OCaml (3.09) will not build at all under the latest Cygwin release. (To be precise, it will compile, but then immediately fail when you try to bootstrap it.) I don't know why, and I spent a week pulling my hair out troubleshooting it, before I gave up and built it on Leopard. (There is a pre-compiled Windows GUI version of OCaml 3.09 available ... but good luck figuring out how to build anything with it.)
