I just installed emacs 19.27 under SCO ODT3.0 using the standard compiler. Firstly the configuration process left "sigblock" as an unreferenced external; defining POSIX_SIGNALS allowed successful linking but godzillions of compiler warnings. (macro sigsetmask redefined). Secondly upon running "dired" to clean out unwanted files from "etc", the dired code was not able to find filenames of any files whose date contained "Sep" or "Dec". That is, moving the cursor to this line leaves the cursor at start-of-line rather than start of filename, and attempting to expunge files marked for deletion results in "no file on this line". Changing dired-move-to-filename-regexp to "[A-Z][a-z][a-z] [0-9][0-9] [ 0-9][0-9][:0-9][0-9][0-9] " solved this problem but is probably neither portable, nor a solution to the underlying cause.
