Building Xwindows on a AT&T 3B2

I am trying to build the X client server on an AT&T 3B2/600G
I got the code from uunet and have run into a few problems trying
to build it. Most of these problems I think stem from the fact
that -Datt option I used in the build is for the 6383 UNIX box not
the 3B. Anyway here is what I have encountered.
Some header files referenced are not on my 3B2:
interlan/netdb.h
interlan/socket.h
Just for kicks I commented out these includes and got this
library (Xmu) to compile.
After this everything was compiling along fine until it got to
clients/xmh where it bombed trying to compile command.c because
it needed a typedef for fd_set and some other things. I found the
defines it needed in the following header files on my 3B2
sys/inet.h
sys/inetioctl.h
sys/stream.h
I included these command.c and got it to compile -- But now
xmh will not link because several external functions (symbols) are not
defined. These are:
alphasort
rename
scandir
ftruncate
gettimeofday
I think these are all BSD functions which should not be being
referenced when I have -DUSG -DSYSV and -Datt set?
Has anyone ever compiled Xwindows on a 3B machine ??
Someone please tell me if this is impossible and I won't
waste my time.
Anyone with an AT&T 6386 machine that knows what is in
interlan/netdb.h and interlan/socket.h and why they aren't on
the 3B ? Are scandir, ftruncate and alphasort supported in
your System V unix?
Any ideas or comments would be better than where I am right now.
Thanks in advance.
