Compiling software written with intimiate knowledge of its 16bit
target platform on a modern 32- or 64- bit host?  I'm not at all
surprised that doesn't compile out of the box.

Ultrix-11 probably does all sorts of type punning between
integers and pointers, and may declare "standard" functions
incompatibly with respect to their modern definitions.
