It at least builds and basically runs.

That's only relevant when debugging isn't it?

rms has been considering those as bugs.

I thought that HPUX came with only K&R and that people actually relied
on that, but I don't know the current state of play. I also thought a
surprising number of people still ran sunos4 (which is what I've
tested builds on, though that box may go soon).
Anyhow, I'll ask the question about K&R again.
