No, you should not make any assumption and interpretation about comments in
the "revision.txt" if they are not clear. "revision.txt" is *not* the know
bugs list and has nothing to do with it. Nor was that particular comment
meant to be made available to the public. You should not jump to any
conclusions given notes in "revision.txt", that is not and never was its
purpose. It is simply a convenient (for the POV-Team to create) short way to
let people know about recent bug fixes and such in a "raw" format. Nothing
more, nothing less.
Nobody ever implied the POV-Ray 3.5 source code is not as portable as it
always used to be in previous versions. I think this is sufficient to answer
your concerns.

I would like to add that even if POV-Ray 3.5 doesn't compile with Sun's own
compiler, it does compile with gcc.
(If it didn't, I would certainly bother the team to death, until they either
fixed it or kicked me out ;) )
The gcc compile is about 5% slower than the Sun cc compile (at least pov3.1g
is). It isn't annoyingly much, though.
