Summary: 


I am currently porting GNU Emacs to the NCR Tower XP, which runs
UNIX System V.  Has anyone ported GNU Emacs to a System V
machine yet?  I have encountered some difficulty, mostly
due to differences in System V and 4.2 BSD system calls.
However, my latest problem concerns the bit-fields used in
the Lisp_Object. Neither the Tower (and Motorola PCC2 compiler)
nor our SUN will allow signed integers in a bit field (the s.val part
of a Lisp_Object).  Has anyone else ported GNU emacs to
a System V machine?  If so, I would appreciate any comments
on how you solved these problems.
