Well, that's not too surprising, since stty() and gtty() are functions 
dealing with the BSD-style terminal interface and while SunOS is a BSD-
derived UNIX, A/UX isn't; it's based on System V, and System V does 
terminal handling completely differently from BSD.  (I don't recall 
what setbuffer() is, but it's probably another BSD-ism).

  Well, for starters, find the bit in the config file (estruct.h, I think)
where you told MicroEmacs that it was on a BSD system and change it to 
USG (i.e. System V).  That'll get you closer.  

  Some time back, a friend of mine ported MicroEmacs 3.10 to my A/UX machine.
As I recall, after doing the preliminary changes (finding include files,
spec'ing USG, etc.) things mostly worked OK, but there were a few problems,
mostly related to handling of ^Z and job control (not surprising, since 
"standard" System V systems don't *have* job control).  I can probably dig
up either the modified source or a running executable if you need either.
