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.
