I have rc, mk, sed, awk, etc. (but not ar, 8c, 8l, or 8a) compiling
natively under {Free,Open,Net}BSD, Digital Unix, and Linux.  I haven't
used or tested them extensively yet and they do depend upon the ports
I've done of libc, libregex, libmp, libsec, etc.  I haven't applied
the last round of patches to libc and it still needs a decent dirread
implementation.  rfork emulation is also not what it might be, even
under FreeBSD.
