I'm trying to build GNU emacs 18.54 on a Sequent Symmetry running Dynix
V3.0.12.  I'm using m-sequent.h; s-bsd4-2.h to build.  Everything (apparently)
compiles OK, but the executable never picks up any of the environment variables
(TERM, DISPLAY, etc.) correctly.  dbx shows getenv() returning NULL every
time it's called.  A stupid test program correctly prints out the correct
value of TERM, TERMCAP, whatever.

Any thoughts on what might be going on here.  Replies from those who have
managed to build 18.54 on Sequent Symmetry machines would be appreciated.
