I have compiled KSH International under XENIX Sys V  on my PC clone.
There are a couple of undocumented tricks to getting the make to succeed.
I don't recall right now what they all were but here's the ones I remember:
	1. Edit the makefile and duplicate the  Options= line and change
	   to OPTIONS= followed by the options. The capitalization of the
		word OPTIONS makes the difference.
	2. Make sure you use the small model. I think I'm having trouble
		with the medium model code generated by the compiler.
	3. To make the code fit into the  small model compile only
	   with emacs editing mode and without "VIRAW" and without
	   job control.

If you wish send me a formatted 640Kb diskette and I'll make you
a copy of the objects ksh and  suid_exec.
Also I have altered ksh-i for a 7 bit version which can tolerate
the bug in the vi editor which sets the 8th bit when passing commands
to the shell.
