Re: [Tack-devel] looking for the source for ACK that still supported the 68K

I've got the minixST stuff building on 6.0 --- it's just gone through
the autobuilder. Of course, it's not tested and so I have no idea
whether it actually _works_, but it is at least building the example
programs...

This is using the new possibly-improved libc with the old Minix
syscall library, which I've ANSIfied. Minix uses some really old
Unixisms, like sgtty.h, which have been copied more or less intact,
but I'm not sure how well they match with the newer libc. The good
news is that a lot of the syscall library is in C, which means that
the bulk of the work to make minix86 binaries build has been done if
anyone wants it.
