Platform:   sco-unknown-sysvr3.2.2       [SCO UNIX (SysVr3.2.2)]
G++Version: 2.3.3

Impact:    programs with member functions called 'remove' will often fail,
           with error messages about 'no member function foo::unlink', or
	   foo::unlink may be called where foo::remove was intended.

Cause:     SCO UNIX:/usr/include/stdio.h does
           #define remove(path) unlink(path)
           in order to be POSIX compliant, according to them.

Fix-by:
  I know this is not a 'bug' with G++ as such  (a product which is quite
  incredible in my opinion)  but the only place to patch this braindead
  SCO-ism is in the g++-include/stdio.h header file, hence this suggestion.
  Something like the following, placed after the '#define __stdio_h_recursive'
  would be a boon to all of us poor SCO victims  (and is approximately what
  their version of the AT&T C++ compiler does).

  #if defined(SCO) && defined(remove)
  #undef remove
  #endif

Many thanks
Tim
