I thought I answered this once before, but can't seem to find that reply...

I'm not seeing this on the other SCO targets.  This doesn't mean the
problem isn't there; only that I can't fix it since I can't see it.


This doesn't look like a 'configure' error.  This looks like a build
error.  Regardless, gen-params is a shell script.   It works by calling
the compiler to make a bunch of dinky little programs to test the build
environment.   It looks like it's failing when building the dinky little
programs.

Can you throw some debugging time at this shell script to see what's
going on?  It's probably that something outside of gen-params is the
actual problem.  Perhaps the freshly generated compiler is having
problems, etc.   If you can tell us what's choking, that'll advance
things.
