Interesting.  I took a quick look around my (FreeBSD) machine and
located a directory /home/src/OpenBSD/3.0-RELEASE/usr.bin/learn/,
dating from October 2001.  It no longer compiles with clang, but a
quick attempt with gcc and without (clang) default flags at least
produces object files.

I've put a tarball at http://www.lemis.com/grog/src/learn.tar
