unsupported/tandem looks like it was written for Guardian (or maybe 
something entirely unrelated; are we even talking about NSK here?), not 
OSS, so is not relevant (re: your other e-mail, OSS is in fact 
"posix-ish" and I did use ./configure).

Alas I have yet to learn autoconf, but I assume one would add 
'-D_TANDEM_SOURCE -D_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED=1' to CFLAGS if the target is 
in the family of 'nsr-tandem-nskG06'. (Hmm, and since I only have the 
one box, I'm not sure if "family" should be ns?-tandem-*, *-tandem-nsk*, 
or something else entirely. Maybe someone else that has at least passing 
familiarity with the NS* series can comment?)
