You're not alone - I've received mail from at least one other person
who's described similar symptoms.  I haven't been able to explain it
yet; somehow it works just fine for me.

The only SCO define in the code -D_SCO_unix_.  You have to link
with -lsocket.

I use gcc all the time.  The only type mismatch warning is in the call
to execve() if I remember correctly.  I don't like SCO's make or cc.

The problem was probably that the SCO loader didn't like the fact that
gethostbyaddr() was in both libresolv.a and libsocket.a.  I can't
see any options to ld that will circumvent that so at some point I'll
have to make a libsocket.a without the conflicting modules.
