Hello,
That's interesting because my 'ancient code' compiles and even works with
putunix and getunix. But when I looked at what was on github and what I have,
there are differences. As you stated, if I took out the -DPOSIX_TTY from the
Makefile, the github source compiled for me, and I could get the A> prompt, but
the drive was empty so I couldn't test getunix.com and putunix.com because they
weren't there.
Here's a diff, z80-master is what I grabbed from github:
diff bios.c ../Downloads/z80-master/bios.c
10c10
< | Copyright 1994-1995 by CodeGen, Inc. All Rights Reserved. |

and even differences in the code but I'm not going to put that in an email.
Haven't checked any of the other files.
I can send you the 'legacy' code that I have if you are interested. z80.tgz is
only 57823 bytes., the binary is around 200 k. It gives some warnings but
compiles OK, and I have left in the -DPOSIX_TTY.
My latest compile (it's a gentoo system):
ldd z80
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffce679a000)
libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007f62b8534000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f62b8719000)
and an old one I have sitting around (probably from a 32 bit system but it
still works and its the one in the path)
ldd z80
linux-gate.so.1 (0xf7f1d000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xf7d26000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf7f1e000)

This is pretty fantastic! I got it to compile (Ubuntu 18.04) with some errors
just by removing -DPOSIX_TTY from the Makefile CFLAGS, and it does execute, but
unfortunately that's as far as I can get with it - both the getunix and putunix
utilities cause the emulator to segfault. putunix gets as far as creating an
empty file in unix before the segfault, getunix doesn't end up creating
anything in CP/M (although it is able to access the unix filesystem, since it
gives the message ERROR1 if I specify a file that doesn't exist, but segfaults
if I specify a file which does exist).
I'd be curious to know whether the binary you just produced actually allows
getunix and putunix to work or not. Without them it's not too useful. (On a
lark, I also tried taking my REXCPM backup file and dropping it in place of the
emulator's A: virtual disk file but as I expected that didn't work so well -
DIR shows a few files I recognize from my M100 but it's all corrupt.)
