Well, Sergey Nikitin's port is broken in several ways.

First of all, it is linked with libc6, libc6-based X libs AND
libc5-based Motif libraries (there is no libc6-based Motif yet).

Another thing is that he uses X libs with locales support built-in,
which is not to be done since the above support is included directly
into libc6. There is a simple workaround for this, but still...

And finally, he links the binary with shared libs in some funny way so
that dynamically linked version with Motif plainly doesn't work.

Thanks.
