Problems building GCC on SCO systems

There are problems building GCC on recent SCO systems.  Several people
have found an apparent solution of defining STDC_VALUE as 0.  This
appears to work, but it is actually incorrect because it causes GCC to
define __STDC__ as 0 *all the time*.

This is incorrect because GCC is supposed to handle __STDC__ the same
way on all machines: namely, it should be 1.

The reason people are tempted to make this change is that the SCO
header files expect __STDC__ to be 0, and get confused if it isn't.
However, fixincludes is supposed to change the conditionals in the
header files so they will work properly with __STDC__ == 1.  So the
problem should be limited to the compilation of GCC itself.

Can anyone find a way around this problem which alters only the
compilation of GCC and does not alter what GCC does when installed?
