Subject: AKCL/KCL port to mp386 - questions?

i have been trying to port KCL and AKCL to plain vanilla SYSTEM V unix 
with little success.  i would like to know if anyone has had any success
with this.  

specifically, the problem i'm having happens on what appears to be the
"second pass" through the make routine. ( anyone familiar with the 
notorious Smakefile knows what i mean ).  at any rate, the thing bombs
when it executes the (cd lsp; make) statement, when it trys to execute
../xbin/if-exists on elements of the directory /lsp.  if-exists dies with 
a "killed" system message ( but apparently worked fine above in the makefile)
with the result of the "target" of the if-exists being deleted, and the
system being unable to make the deleted target.  subsequent attempts to
make the system result in the same error occurring in the next alphabetically
named file in /lsp.

anyone encountered this one before?

thanks in advance for your help.
