Well, what do you call the megabytes of unix sources in unix.sources, 
misc.sources, alt.sources, pubnet.sources, etc.?  While some are not 
targeted for Xenix, etc., a large number can be compiled on Xenix (my
case) and many are top quality, useful tools.  This is a PC group, so
may be you are unaware of the vast archives on sites like killer and
sir-alan.  Of course, these are sources not binaries is that is what 
you are referring to.

Mark.
