Somebody on Debian ported it to Linux ELF. Look on
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/stable/binary/mail/mh_6.8.4-13.deb for
the .deb package of MH (it's a compressed tar file). The source is
in ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/stable/source/mail/mh_6.8.4-orig.tar.gz
and mh_6.8.4-13.diff.gz.

If you are running Redhat and have rpm available you can also use
ftp://???/pub/redhat-3.0.3/i386/RedHat/RPMS/mh-6.8.3-5.i386.rpm. The
source code is in
ftp://???/pub/redhat-3.0.3/i386/SRPMS/mh-6.8.3-5.i386.rpm

The current patch is the first one listed below. The old patch only
works with libc-4.4, which is no longer used. The current patch is
split into two pieces, as with the previous patch, but now the
divisions are purely functional: the first diff enables MH to
compile, the second allows creation of a shared library. [The paths
are up to date, but I think the info in this paragraph is old. --Ed]
Recent versions of GNU make choke on MH's makefiles. Unfortunately,
the shared library patches depend on "export". If you have problems
building MH, remove the "export" lines from all of the makefiles (if
you applied the shared library patches) and try using BSD pmake
instead.
If you don't want to compile MH, the second file contains
pre-compiled ready-to-run binaries which can simply be extracted in
the root directory.

ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/Mail/readers/mh-6.8.3-bin.tar.gz
The sizes are 650k and 22k respectively.
Note that these files are occasionally "cleaned up" by accident so
please let me know if they are missing.
