There is the potential for satisfying those requirements entirely with x86 ILP32 systems, potentially using only 2 different compilers, which wouldn't be fab for ensuring portability :-( I would think that Sparc Solaris, building 64 bit, would be the best single target to aim for to increase portability spread.
