The SCO compiler was a buggy mess with any optimization turned on 10
years ago, and it still is. I see no reason our community should waste
time helping fix such a buggy compiler. If it was buggy for the past 10
years, I think it will be buggy for the next 10 too. We should just
turn off optimization for that compiler.
No we shouldn't. I'm actually working with the SCO compiler guys to get
this BUG fixed.
Let's not pre-judge.
