The port you sent may not work otherwise, but another MVS port might
work more compatibly. For example, diff3 could put the sub-diff
output into files, and then read the files. It could do this
transparently to "diff3", as part of its implementation of pipe(...)
and fork().

You shouldn't need to create "/sys/types.h"; it should suffice to
create "lib/sys/types.h", just as there is already a "lib/alloca.h".
And "diff" doesn't care whether it's a single file named "sys/types.h"
(with a slash in its name), so perhaps you can just create that -- I
assume MVS allows slashes in file names?

OK, thanks, I installed this further change.
