The software which is available for UUCP has been compiled with the 2.3.2
devsys in conjunction with the GCC compiler, under SCO XENIX 2.3.3, on
'anomaly'. If you are having difficulty with a particular package, we can
make binaries available for you to UUCP. BASH, from my recollection, 
compiled cleanly without any major modifications to the source code. Where
exactly are you experiencing difficulty?

Since most software has miscellaneous configuration options which users
must decide upon at compilation time, it is possible that setting a particular
option on or off may branch compilation of source code into a previously
uncompiled region, thus resulting in errors.
