Get thee to the Build Farm.

In particular, PostgreSQL most certainly "runs fine on the AMD
platform;" the following nodes each ran full regression tests within
the last week.

Rules of  the Evil Overlord #76.  "If the hero  runs up to my  roof, I
will not run up after him and  struggle with him in an attempt to push
him  over the  edge. I  will also  not  engage him  at the  edge of  a
cliff. (In the middle of a  rope-bridge over a river of molten lava is
not even worth considering.)" <http://www.eviloverlord.com/>
