Part of this is due to Bernd Raichle:

- get yourself web-5.851c.tar.Z and web2c-5.851c.tar.Z
- setup the bsdcc compiler environment (if you don't know how:
  it's documented in /usr/lpp/bos/bsdport.tr; you need root privs)
- use bsdcc instead of cc or xlc
- compile options: -O -DSCHAR_TYPE="signed char"
- compile tex2.c without -O (optimizer bug)
- for all source files with compile errors (pltotf.c/vftovp.c et al.)
  re-compile with -D_POSIX_SOURCE
- no source code changes required!

That's it. I've done it: it works.
