You can add Motorola m88k on SYSTEM V/88 R32V3 to your list; I compiled
rc-1.4 ok and it passed trip.rc successful. The following definitions in
config.h were required:

#define NOLIMITS		/* SYSTEM V/88 is a rather dumb SysV R3 */
#define DEFAULTINTERP "/bin/sh"	/* it is so dumb that even /bin/{true,false}
				 * don't start with `#!/bin/sh'...
				 */
#define PROTECT_ENV		/* trip.rc fails without that
				 */

Compilation was done with gcc (version 2.2.2) and Green Hills cc (version
1.8.5). To use the latter, unproto (version later than 1.4) is needed -
but you should really try to avoid Green Hills cc if possible (it's the
worst cc I ever saw); if you must, be sure ALL optimization flags are
turned off.
