I'm not a SCO guru by any means...

I'm just a user on someone else's SCO machine, just trying to make sure that the software I write is "fairly portable"...

I'm willing to carry a good and useful tool (like git) in my home directory in that endeavour, but I'm not carrying all of the GNU stack in my home directory so I can run configure git is a bit much ;-)

So configure.ac must have some magic in it that allows configure to
notice -Wall doesn't work.  You can see what it choose in
config.mak.autogen I think.  But I'm pretty glad for the kbuild style
Makefile in git not requiring autoconf/automake/etc.

Yes, and I think the default to cc matches -g, not -O2, hence my failures unless setting -O2.

I'm sure... I might even find it burried somewhere on this machine too, but I have no real need for it.
