Package	Status	Comments	Recommendation (for packages with comments)
zlib	Builds with no edit
bzip2	Builds with no edit
libxml2	Builds with no edit
pcre	Builds with no edit
httpd	Builds with no edit
mysql	Builds with no edit but see comments	Has 2 ppc64 ifarches # multilib header hacks # hack to let 32- and 64-bit tests run concurrently on same build machine	Can safely ignore. Both instances use uname -i and it should always be ppc64
php	Builds with no edit
postgresql	Builds with no edit but see comments	Has 1 ppc64 ifarch # multilib header hack; note pg_config.h is installed in two places!	Can safely ignore. Both instances use uname -i and it should always be ppc64
