It shouldn't be too hard too compile it on either of those systems.

I heard somewhere that Suns workstations are supposed to be using System V
in the near future anyway and that SunOS has sorta been becoming more and 
more "V-like" in recent versions anyway, so I reckon that there probably
should not be any real bother compiling Motif on SVR4 for the Ami.
(mind you I have never used SVR4 nor seen the Motif code - correct any
misconceptions I have shown here)
