/usr/Examples isn't on any of our machines. You can get a few helpful
things from ~ftp/pub/ibm_rs6000 on cs.utk.edu. I would first recommend
installed the xlc.cfg from there, that make cc act a little more bsdish.

I haven't had much trouble compiling the R4 libraries or clients. Xterm,
however will not work without certain changes. See 
~ftp/pub/ibm_rs6000/R4xterm.patch
