I've built (and used) it successfully on the Data General AViiON m88k
machines running DG/UX 4.30 with the GNU C compiler 1.37.23.  It took
quite a bit of modification by hand in some of the header files
because those long chains of #defines depending on previous #defines
simply baffles the GNU cpp.

My system doesn't have /usr/include/sys/stdsym.h either, but a link to
/usr/include/syms.h works fine for me.

As for missing Motif headers, I haven't experienced that with
X11R3/Motif 1.0.x.  However, building against X11R4/Motif 1.1 will
need some work.  It seems that OSF is getting picky about what header
files users should be allowed to have, e.g. Xm/*[IP].h.

There's probably quite a bit more work needed than just getting the
right header files to get things working on Motif 1.1, what with new
widgets, new behaviors (aka bug "fixes"), etc. to consider.

To the credit of the X11R4 folks, my X11R3 built winterp works fine on
my X11R4 server.
