One of the 68030 type machines, not the newer mips boxes.

I've ported J to one of these boxes. Pretty much a no-brainer. The OS
on the Sony is pretty much vanillia BSD4.3.

The only thing I had to do was write a small stub to emulate the
functionality of clock(3), and I had to replace the one occurrance of
fmod(3) with drem(3) (according to sony's drem(3) man page, this
function is very similiar to fmod(3) and remainder(3) on a sun).
