As far as I know, under m88k, there are sysv3, svr4, bsd, etc... and there
are quite a few m88k-sysv3 dialects out there. UMAXV is one and is Encore
specific.  Are you looking at along the line of the below ?

sysv3-> m88k -> UMAXV
             -> ???
     -> intel
     -> ???

svr4 -> m88k ->
     -> intel
     -> ???

Also what is the case with apollo in the top level Makefile ?

apollo:
        cd WWW/Library/apollo_m68k; $(MAKE) LYFLAGS="$(SITE_LYDEFS)"
