I don't think the "segmented architecture" affects any Unix on 386's.
All the ones I've seen use 32-bit offsets.
I've been running TeX under Microport (RIP) Unix for several years,
and had no problems.
(At the time I found it easier to compile TeX on the 386
than on a Sun.)
Also under 386-Minix and Linux.

We could never afford SCO,
so were forced to use something that worked :-)
