Cdrtools is actively checked for compilation and functionality on many platforms
on a regular base on:

SunOS 4.x add 5.x
Linux
AIX
FreeBSD
NetBSD
OpenBSD
DragonFly BSD
HP-UX 10.x and 11.x
Max OS X
IRIX
MS-WIN (Cygwin)
Haiku
SCO UnixWare and Openserver
Syllable

There is support for many more platforms but I do not have access to all of 
them.
