It's used in Minix:

http://minix1.bio.umass.edu


The ACK is not actively maintained (it's the only package in Minix
that comes in binary form), but I think you can trust it. I have
used it intensely during the last few years, and I have never found
a single bug in it (though folklore says that there is a bug in the
global optimizer, the one that gets called with -O2 and above).
It has even succeeded in compiling (with -O2) the TenDRA C/C++
compiler on Minix, and this one seems absolutely stable.
