The first two are generally not needed on MPE, and can be dealt with like this:

#ifndef mpeix
# include <sys/param.h>
# include <sys/file.h>
#endif

Syslog.h can be dealt with by adding -I/SYSLOG/PUB to your CPPFLAGS (or
CFLAGS), along with the corresponding linkedit magic of -L/SYSLOG/PUB -lsyslog
in your LDFLAGS.

Resolv.h is similar to syslog, i.e. -I/BIND/PUB/include (or
/BINDFW/PUB/include), and -L/BIND/PUB/lib (or BINDFW) and -lbind.

For ndbm.h, congratulations, you've hit the sendmail dependency on an alias
database type.  There are a number of choices here.  Bixby.org chose the now
ANCIENT db-1.85.  A much more modern db is available from
http://www.sleepycat.com.  I put in alot of effort to get sleepycat running on
MPE.  It "mostly" works, but fails a bunch of self-tests.  This is a full blown
DBMS with logging and transactions and recovery and a bunch of stuff that
doesn't apply to sendmail alias files.  The selftest failures may not be a
problem for use with sendmail.  My memory is a bit hazy now on whether or not I
actually attempted to build sendmail with sleepycat.

You can defer this decision for later and just go with db-1.85 if you want to
get deeper into the port.
