It appears that a confusion was preventing the fixing of header
files on SCO 3.2v4.  The fixing of __STDC__ conditionals is in
fixinc.svr4, but ordinary fixincludes is being used for all versions
of SCO.

Please try using fixinc.svr4 instead of fixincludes and tell me if
that solves the __STDC__ problems.  the easy way to do this is to
add the line
		fixincludes=fixinc.svr4
to configure in the entry for sco3.2v4, then rerun configure,
then redo the  make install-fixincludes.

If this doesn't solve the problem in all cases, or if it introduces any
new problem, or if any special-purpose fixing done in fixincludes but
not fixinc.svr4 is needed on SCO 3.2v4, please send me a specific bug
report.

Meanwhile, NO ONE has told me whether there is any problem in the
compilation and bootstrapping of GCC 2.3.2 unmodified.  I will assume
there is NO problem here unless people send me bug reports showing
*the problem*.  It is no use sending me a patch if you don't indicate
the precise problem you are trying to fix.  Everyone should read the
Bugs chapter of the GCC manual to see how to send a useful bug report.

I plan to make a new release soon, and if I get the help I
need soon enough, that release can work on SCO.
