Thanks, that got me farther.  I was able to coerce it
to build the libraries and some applications.  But,
surprise surprise, the threading isn't working.  In
playing the the tprimes thread test program, I've found
that it's aborting in needstack().  The first time
it gets called, t->stk==f3333334, t->id==4280014785
and t->stksize==10.  The next time it gets called
(using the same _Thread structure instance), t->stk==0,
t->id==0, and t->stksize==213456.  So it looks like
something is scribbling on that structure.

That's as far as I've gotten today.  I'm trying to
get vbackup running on Solaris.  It's not critical,
but it'd be nice.

I completely understand.  If I get any real success,
I'll pass along the patches.

Thanks,
