I just did, after reading your posting.  I haven't used it yet, but
make installtest seems happy enough.

I used the conf.h which the script made for me, as per the instructions.
Don't forget to install GNU DIFF 1.15 first.

Yeah.  SCO's headers are not conforming.  Quick fix:  find the bits in
rcsbase.h labeled <stdio.h> and just comment them out.

I compiled mine with GCC.  Having GCC makes compiling programs off the
net, etc much easier, so you might as well get it.  It'll save you a lot
of hassle fighting with SCO's compiler.  Binaries + patches relative
to 1.37.1 are available from

unix.secs.oakland.edu:/pub/xenix/gcc/*

and probably for anonymous UUCP from anomaly.sbs.com.
