Environment: Microport System V/AT (286) v2.4.

I'm trying to build perl, despite the warning about small address space
machines. After adding an #include <signal.h> to util.c to get it to
compile, the link step fails trying to find dup2(), rename(), and
lstat(). I'm not sure what dup2() does. The Configure script found
rename(), but it's not documented in the manual. Looking at the code in
doio.c where lstat() is used, it looks like there's an attempt to avoid
calling it if it's not appropriate, but it flat doesn't exist here.

Help?
