Here are my R3.11 EPICS Build Notes.
 
R3.11 BUILD NOTES
 
additions to README.INSTALL :
 
 a.  You need to "sccs delget archUNIX" after you modify archUNIX.
 
 b.  config/sun4/sun.cf contains compiler specific information.  If
     you don't have gcc, specify the path to an ansi compiler in this
     file.
 
 c.  Bison/Flex need to be obtained from the gnu distribution.  They
     exist on ftp.uu.net in /packages/gnu.

           - NOT NECESSARY IN 3.12
 
BUILDIT
 
 a.  Unix/share/bin/Buildit contains a fixed directory for imake.  There
     are two imake commands in this file, redirect them to where your imake
     program exists.

           - FIXED IN 3.12
 
 b.  The Unix/share/bin directory has to be in the epics user's path
     so Buildit will run.
 
 c.  When Buildit is performing make depends on the vxWorks side, the
     following message may appear repeatedly:
 
.../../../share/vw/h/types/vxCpu.h: 102: undefined control
 
     Ignore these messages, and the compile should work.

           - I FIXED THIS FOR 3.12, Buildit uses the CORRECT compiler
                 now for dependencies.

   Matt

Note that Unix/share/bin/Buildit is supposed to be used by BOTH vxWorks
and Unix sides of the compile.

I also sped up the 3.12 build.  Now /bin/arch does not have to be run twice
every time a file is compiled.

I added support for mv162(LC) and niCpu030 targets in the config directory.

       Final note -  Of course, Mike Bordua from Berkeley is planning
                 to restructure the EPICS build so some of this may no
                 longer be relevant.
