I don't know in detail - people have emailed me from time to time about
the weird and wonderful special-purpose environments they use, but I
haven't kept records. I may be imagining it but perhaps one was an OS
used on cell phones. That kind of thing. I myself still have an old
Acorn computer at home - no longer used, but years ago I did put PCRE on
it "by hand", and there are still people using those systems.

Does OpenVMS have configure/make? I remember somebody put PCRE on that.
How about mainframe OS? They didn't have configure/make in my day, but
that's about 15 years ago now.
