I don't have any update packages... so it would only be the
V5.3 binary distribution.

If the question of the license is resolved in the positive, then I could
make available image copies of any of the distribution media with the
exception of magtapes.

I've heard of people taking the makefile I wrote for it and making
modifications so that it would build using some flavor of C on MS/DOS.

(And this has been borne out by the post from someone who said they
 built it and use it).
