News 2.11.19 on Ultrix 4.0???

Has anyone built News 2.11.19 (V2.11, patchlevel 19 B news) under Ultrix
4.0?  Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I used the localize.v7 file
as a base, and added the required lines for NNTP to it as described in
localize.nntp.  I want my machine to run full news software, receiving
news via NNTP, and also feeding two other machines.

Except for some problems with NNTP (which I've temporarily taped
together), this is all working okay now, except that I'm on old versions
of the software (NNTP 1.5 and News 2.11.14).  I'd like to go ahead and
build 2.11.19 news and 1.5.10 NNTP if I can, but I can't even REBUILD my
existing versions!  An example of the kind of things I'm encountering
is that I can't compile the file rfuncs2.c because it doesn't like
having fileno(fp) on the lhs of an assignment operator.  (The offending
lines are 314 and 316 in this file, if you're interested.  314 is
something like "fileno(fp) = -1;" and 316 is "fileno(fp) = fno;")

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!  Am I doing something wrong or
is there a problem with Ultrix 4.0???  Thanks in advance.
