If you take straight Ckermit from uunet or something, then you can compile
it with the SYSTEM V release 3 flags and it will work just fine.  You have
to run through the configuration options a a few things:  for example
the lock directory is in /usr/spool/locks instead of /usr/spool/uucp,
or something like that.  But I remember having a a distinct LACK of problems
in compiling kermit.
