	I just tried gdb on SCO UNIX, with no good results.  The
permissions on /bin/sh didn't allow it to be exec'd for some reason, and
it doesn't understand the debugging information output by rcc or cc.  I
would suspect that getting GCC/GAS running in COFF mode would allow the
GDB to work, but it wouldn't be native, then.  For my XENIX system, the
wonderful, much appreciated patches from the UK work fine, but again,
you can't use 'cc'.

I would suspect that, in an effort to allow the UNIX sdb to work with
either cc or rcc, that neither compiler outputs anything close to
"standard" for debuggers.
