The original problem report:

> I have a system running DU 4.0. I am trying to build a more contemporary
> version sendmail for this system--specifically sendmail version 8.8.8.
>
> When I attempt to run the build script, it dies right away:

{stuff omitted}

> cc: Severe: sendmail.h, line 50: Cannot find file <unistd.h> specified in
> #include directive.

This is sort of embarrasing, but the solution would seem to be
INSTALL A COMPILER! Dumb me, it didn't even occur to me that
the problem was the build script was trying to compile and I
didn't have a compiler on this system. (Guess the fact that
I've been fiddling with Linux lately had me confused.)

Thanks to Alan Rollow for straightening me out.
