I just rebuilt Andrew patchlevel 9 "straight out of the box" under SunOS 4.1.1 on a SPARC 2. It was the cleanest build of Andrew I've seen in two years. (And on the SPARC 2, it was incredibly fast -- not much more than two hours for the whole build, and that was on a slow optical disk!) There are several problems with the build under SunOS 4.0.3 that disappeared under 4.1.1. I'd recommend that you upgrade to SunOS 4.1 or 4.1.1 before you try to build Andrew.
