The C-preprocessor is probably barfing out on the # after the
comments.  I hacked my build to use a previously installed imake that
didn't have this problem.  There is probably another (better)
solution.  If you stick with the supplied imake, make sure
"REDUCED_TO_ASCII_SPACE" gets defined.

You will also run into other problems with the C compiler.  You would
do well to use "bsdcc" as outlined in /usr/lpp/bos/bsdport.

There are also some runtime problems under AIX 3.2.  The only ones I
can remember right now are:

	. the infamous malloc(0) returns NULL
	. file locking is attempted on files that were not
	  opened O_RDWR.

I could probably kludge together my changes if you are interested.
