The sim target has suffered some bit-rot over the years and so the following caveats need to be added:

The X target does not build under recent Cygwin configurations.

The X target does not build under current Ubuntu distributions;

it fails to locate the X header files.

<li>
|
||||
The sim target itself is broken under 64-bit Linux.

This is because the sim target is based upon some assembly language setjmp/longjmp logic that only works on 32-bit systems.
