Indeed I was using CFarm mainly for non x86-64/Linux machines.

If (1) is not possible, I think that the only possibility is to use
emulated VM's. Now, I suppose that most users should be able to do
that on their own machines (once they find some good tutorial so that
they won't have to spend hours reading documentation).

Having access to both old and new versions would be useful.

Yes, and IIRC, Solaris was the system for which we had most portability
problems for GNU MPFR. So, that would be useful.
