isn't that "usefull to have ONE configuration file for these shells" 
/etc/profile?

also, the patch to force /etc/ksh.kshrc checks for a vendor name rather than
a feature -- we prefer to do that only as a last resort
a more appropriate place for vendor specific settings would be in the vendor
specific makefile(s) that set up compile time options
in this case -DSHOPT_SYSRC should do what you want
if it doesn't then let me know so I can make it work
