I have done this but have not used it much.
Everything from the Xenix /lib except cpp can be copied to /lib.
I copied /usr/include to /usr/include/xenix, and modified /etc/default/cc:
	FLAGS = -X -I/usr/include/xenix
From /bin (and /usr/bin) I copied the following to a directory /bin/xenix:
	adb ar as cc cc286 cc386 cpp hdr ld nm ranlib sdb size strip
cc286 and cc386 have /bin/ld hardwired into them, so I patched
them with adb changing it to /bin/xl and linking /bin/xenix/ld to /bin/xl.
To do Xenix development just prepend /bin/xenix to $PATH.
