  I don't have my manual here, but do you have to (a) set the config,

  At the risk of sounding foolish, why not do the whole thing in Xenix
using the cross compile features of the C compiler. Seems to work pretty
well, I do it for a number of packages. I even compiled PC-curses and
moved it into the dos libraries directory so I just say -lcurses.
