I'm not looking to start a distro war, but we're successfully running
postgres on Gentoo on a handful of machines, both Intel and AMD, without
trouble. I suppose compiling by hand from source is equally
unsupportable.
As for not knowing what's running, it's fairly trivial to deduce the
compile time options based on USE flags. Heck, you've even got full
compile/install logs if you want them...
Just saying. ;)
