I can tell you what would have made compiling a non-working server
easier, though I'll need to play a bit more to get past my current
impasse and discover what a working server might need.

A few #include files from arch/sparc/{dev,sbus} need to be copied somewhere
easier to get at.  Absolutely required are

	dev/kbio.h
	dev/kbd.h
	dev/vuid_event.h

Possibly required (they are needed only for a very few constants which
are now hardcoded into the server) are

	sbus/btreg.h
	sbus/bwtworeg.h
	sbus/cgthreereg.h
	sbus/cgsixreg.h

I copied them into /usr/include/dev, though anywhere would be fine.

It would make life easier if the following defines were made in vuid_event.h
and kbio.h (assuming they don't conflict with anything in the kernel):

  #define	TR_UNTRANS_EVENT	3

These certainly don't require kernel support (or the SunOS server wouldn't
work), but the server code references them and having them defined avoids
having to #ifdef out those blocks of code.

I don't have a lot of time to play with this, but on the other hand the
core dump I'm getting currently is not in a particularly ugly piece of
code so there may not be much wrong.  I'll try to recompile the server
with debugging symbols and see if I can make some progress.
