Can't help with those, but I just built both COFF and ELF versions for
SCO OpenServer 5 and used the assembler to rebuild itself. I realize
this is not an exhaustive test. Since this is an x86 UNIX, it may
help your confidence on those targets.
I have used the 96q2 progressives much more and feel pretty good about
them.

The configure and build was nice and boring. Excellent work, guys!
Other than the problem you and I discussed privately, I have only
a few documention patches to offer.
