   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?


Here is what I did to get GCC to work on a SCO3.2v4 box...

I first happened upon the idea of changing "X_CFLAGS= -D__STDC__=0" to
"X_CFLAGS= -U__STDC__" in ./config/x-i386s4.  This worked fine for
building the initial stage with rcc.  I soon found out that this was a
bad idea when I tried to make the stage1 compiler.  The SCO assembler
would bail out while working on core.c and I could get no furthur.

I then tried defining "X_CFLAGS = -DSTDC_VALUE=0".  This worked just
fine and GCC compiled with a good result from "make compare".  After
installing GCC, I used fixincludes.svr4 instead of the regular
fixincludes, and all I had to do was create syslimits.h (Which I stole
from a bad install of GCC 2.3.1, but with a successful fixincludes).
Everything seems to be working fine and I have been getting all sorts
of other tools that I have been suffering without to compile.

Hope some of that helped...

P.S. While I am in the compiling mood, has anyone gotten X11R5 to
compile on a SCO 3.2.4 box (No, we do not have ODT on many of our
machines)?
