Has anyone approached PGI about a donation of a license for a development box for us to test against? I've had good luck in dealing with them on issues related to Gentoo (they don't sneer at it like some vendors). They even got me a patch in 72 hours to their compiler to work around the fact that Gentoo seems to handle /usr/lib, /usr/lib32, and /usr/lib64 the opposite of the other vendors of amd64 distros.
It certainly never hurts to ask.
