Hi, Alastair
You can use the "find" command to see if these files are really on you 
machine - it may take a little while if you start from the root 
directory. Something like the following:

find / -name Xos.h -print

If it returned the following:

/usr/openwin/share/include/X11/Xos.h

then I would make sure that my $SRC/CMD/head/sun4 file had the following 
entry (assuming that you're calling your architecture "sun4"):


XINCPATH            = -I/usr/openwin/share/include


Hope that this helps. Good luck,
