+It is possible that sufficiently newer version of libc for RH4.2 fix this

+[3A] One needs the Kernel Config Files (UDTBIN430) subset installed to
+compile am-utils, otherwise essential header files (net/if.h, net/route.h,
+rpcsvc/mount.h, rpcsvc/yp_prot.h, rpcsvc/ypclnt.h, sys/proc.h) are
+missing.
+
+[3B] It's probably impossible to build am-utils with DEC C on Ultrix V4.3.
+This compiler is pseudo-ANSI only.  Maybe the new ANSI C compiler in V4.3A
+and beyond will do.  I successfully used gcc 2.8.1.

+[3C] You need to build against a recent libhesiod (I used 3.0.2) and
+libresolv/lib44bsd (I used BIND 4.9.5-P1).  The resolver routines in
+libc seem to cause random memory corruption.  It is necessary to specify
+LIBS=-l44bsd.  lib44bsd is a helper library of libresolv used to supply
+functions like strdup which are missing on the host system.  This isn't
+currently autoconfiscated.
+
+[3D] You need to configure with CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/sh5 /bin/sh5 buildall;
+/bin/sh cannot handle the shell functions used in buildall and is both
+buggy and slow.

+[3E] At least the gcc 2.7.0 fixincludes-mangled <sys/utsname.h> needs a
 forward declaration of struct utsname to avoid lots of gcc warnings:
