SCO has SCO_SV defined for all OpenServer/SCO Unix/XENIX Versions from about 1983/4. My memory is a bit fogey on the exact first Release of XENIX. The problem is that with OpenServer 6 you have to use the UnixWare stuff. OpenServer 6 is a highly modified Unixware 7.1.4, but changed for 98 % of the OpenServer 5 stuff. I am running XENIX binaries from the mid to late 80's on it. So you have to do some really strange things because of it. I had git working on SCO UNIX 3.2v4.2/Open Server/ODT 3.0. I have to use gcc and FSU-threads for threads. FSU-threads is a user threads.

Yes, I have to not have any _XOPEN_SOURCE because it ommits many defines that are needed by git. I was using the -E trying to track things down. The only option to get everything defined because of the masking was to remove it. I have the same problems on the other OS. This is need for any SCO OS from Open Desktop 3 and XENIX to the three SCO support OS's. OpenServer 5.0.7, UnixWare 7.1.4 and OpenServer 6. Only the last two have large file system and kernel threads. There are a couple other OS's that Novel provided code that uses the USLC. As it is from the orignal UNIX Group that Novell form when they purchase UNIX. So any UNIX from this source that uses the Novell OS compiler's needs it.

Removed see new patch that was posted.

I only could find the one usuage.  I am now using alloca.

I am, trying to understand it right now.
