If the code in Sage conformed to the C and C++ standards, it would build with a standard C compiler. But C/C++ compilers from Sun/Oracle, IBM or HP will not compile large portions of Sage, as a lot of the code does not conform to the C or C++ standards. Instead it will only build with the GNU compiler, which reports thousands of warnings. Having rarer systems does catch some bugs that common systems do not. It would be good to get Solaris 11 and OpenIndiana system available to the buildbot. I don't mind setting one up, but electricity is not cheap in the UK, and I'm not paying the electric bill to run another machine 24/7.
