A quick remark: Unix users in the 80's and early 90's used
to have GNU tools installed on top as they were far more
featureful. And of course lots of them liked Emacs.

IIRC, this started happening because Sun started charging
extra for a c compiler.  Before that, c always came with
UNIX.  Maybe they started charging for other items too(?).

At work, some GNU userland tools along with GNU c++ is
installed on AIX, but GNU c is not set up correctly so it
aborts on compile.

I ended up staying with AIX c.
