I'm afraid I lost track of this thread, but I am still interested.
Did someone say that they had built Motif on 386BSD?  I have just tried building
Motif 1.2, and after a little fooling around it compiled without errors
or missing symbols.  BUT, the mwm manager and most of the demos crash at random
locations!  Those that run can only make Simple XmStrings, any compound string
comes out garbled.  The Motif release notes say that internationalization must be
present in the X11R5 build and in the C library.  I assumed that this would be OK
with 386bsd0.1 and the binary distribution of X386 from pub/incoming/X386 in
agate.berkeley.edu.  Am I wrong?  Has anyone else tried Motif 1.2?

Thanks,

Eric
