Greetings.  This is my first posting to this list, so please bear with me. 
I am trying to install Emacs v19.25 on a buddy's SCO 32. 4.2 system, and
when running configure everything seems fine until we try to create the
Makefiles for lib-src/ and src/.  I then get a couple of screen-fulls of:

junk.c(47) : error C2142: ellipsis requires three periods
junk.c(47) : error C2142: ellipsis requires three periods
junk.c(60) : error C2142: ellipsis requires three periods
junk.c(60) : error C2142: ellipsis requires three periods
junk.c(68) : error C2018: unknown character '0x40'
junk.c(68) : error C2018: unknown character '0x60'
junk.c(68) : error C2018: unknown character '0x60'
junk.c(68) : error C2018: unknown character '0x60'

I should also mention that this SCO system is using a development set from
an earlier version.... 3.2 3.2 perhaps.  I'm not sure, but could find out.
The command I gave to configure was:
configure --prefix=/home/dchapman --with-x=no --verbose<cr>

I don't know what other information could be useful in tracking down a
solution to this problem, but any help would be greatly appreciated.....

                                           Thanks
                                           Dave Chapman

ps. Please be kind... I am not a C programmer by nature, but I'm learning!
