Actually a broken X11R4  script (derived from R3, where xinit.c behaved 
better :-{  )

Right, both for "xterm" and "XmacII".

Under A/UX 1.1 and later, you needn't run the R4setup.sh script--util/cpp 
isn't needed. The macII/README fails to say that only A/UX 1.0 requires 
R4setup.sh.

Better, correct config/macII.cf (if you aren't using gcc):
#define     CcCmd      cc -B /usr/lib/big/

Hmmm, bsdinst.sh works OK for me. Were you super-user when you did "make 
install"?
