I guess I don't understand.  Let me repeat what I read.

 . While compiling the compiler stomps over #include <forms.h>.

 . The Makefiles don't contain a path to forms.h

According to my Contents-i386.gz forms.h is in X11/forms.h.  Thus
your programs have to contain <X11/forms.h> or the makefiles have
to add an appropriate -I /path/to/X11
