The packaged microprocessor systems are supplied through OEMs.  There
are several reasons why they do not and should not supply cheap sources
to customers.

You could always get an educational UNIX license (from WECo, the only
place you CAN get a UNIX license from) for your microprocessor.  Most
of the utility-level sources (but not the compiler or kernel) would
work on your machine.  (WECo seems willing to license UNIX on any
CPU, not just those for which they supply tapes.)
