1. This produce an error stating that whence is not accessible. whence seems
to be Korn shell utility. SO now I am using 
ksh ./build.sh

2. Almost zero compilation errors but one:
pwd.c: In function `pwd':
pwd.c:17: `PATH_MAX' undeclared (first use in this function)

PATH_MAX supposed to be pulled in from limits.h.

Here what I found in /usr/include/limits.h

/*
* It is arguable whether these should be defined 
* even in _IBCS2 mode since the defintions are 
* WRONG on recent SCO OS's and pathconf should
* be used instead */
                         
#ifdef _IBCS2                      
#define LINK_MAX   1000     
#define PATH_MAX   256    
#define PIPE_BUF   5120     
#endif /* _IBCS2 */

After I added _IBCS2 to build.sh and Jamfile I was able to compile and link
usable executable. Though it behave a little bit strance. Every time I am
using it, it produces following output:

.... and so on for about 600 lines

...found 980 targets...
...updating 11 targets...

And then it works as expected.

This one does not have anything about building jam. Or I missing it?

If I will be able ot address above issues I could publish it on sourceforge.

 Any help?
