Not as far as I know.

Oh wait, OSF is Tru64.  I have read on the web about folks trying to get
it working on Tru64 and giving up :)

I'm sure we can get it going though, send me the config.log and I'll see
if I can figure out what's up.

looks like the ftok() function takes a char * parameter instead of a
const char *.  That's a new one :)

Try the attached code, it should compile further.

You'll almost certainly run into problems later with stat/fstat and
statfs/fstatfs.   Could you look in sys/stat.h and sys/statfs.h and send
me the definitions for "struct stat" and "struct statfs"?
