The average developer will have access to 32- or 64-bit
Intel-architecture Linux variants. A few will bother to test on one of
the *BSD flavours. Some of us have laptops running macOS. Windows
development environments are widely available.
Those are the platforms that are easiest to support. Most volunteer
developers have no access to AIX, Solaris/SunOS, HP-UX or other
proprietary platforms -- and, quite frankly, don't much care about them.
Last time I saw an AIX box was back in 2000 ... and yes, this is a
problem for APR and similar projects.
There are two ways to help:
* Build and test on these platforms, if you have access, and help
resolve any problems by reporting them and discussing on the various
dev@ lists;
* Provide access for developers so that they (that is, we) can test
our own code.
I assume the latter is harder than the former.
