   The problem is that once the big autoconf machine drives it, it appears
   to get the wrong flags.   For example, once configured, it finds gcc
   yet it insists on writing out lines like this in expect/Makefile:

   $(CC) $(XCFLAGS) -belf -Wl,-Bexport -o expect_ins

   So, the mystery to solve is why libtool (autoconf?  configure?) knows
   that CC=gcc, yet it's picking up these clearly native flags for the
   OpenServer target.

These aren't coming from libtool.

They're coming from tcl/unix/configure.in.

I expect that the SCO case in that file needs to be cleaned up
somehow.
