I'm doing an en-masse compile of the programs in the /32V/usr/src/cmd
directory, little-by-little, bit-by-bit.
Some don't compile, some do.
I've also run the bigger utilities - in their separate directories - through
make with Greg Lehey's little one-liner script from "Porting UNIX
Software",
pg 74:
make 2>&1 | tee -a Make.log
and will gzip and email them to you if you like.

I tried the same with a few of the utilities and
a make with the kernel
files.
Having come to HP from DEC by way of Compaq, vax isn't that challenging
for me. :)
I did not try compiling the utilities. My interests have always been at
the kernel level. I am encouraged by the fact that you were able to
build the utilities. This should make life a lot easier.
What I've done so far is split the files into vax specific and "somewhat
vax specific" platform neutral files. This is just a first cut, where I
separated out things such as .s files and .c files that are vax
dependent, such as device drivers, from files that should be platform
neutral.
I did not go through the platform neutral files to correct for vax
dependencies, if any. That's my next task.
I'll tar up what I have so far and put it on a web site for folks to
look at.
