Here's a patch as you suggested:

Isn't there a way to write a test that actually triggers the bug we're
trying to work around?

Here is what the SCO Folks said when I reported this back in August:

You can reduce the example down to

extern char *strcpy(char *, const char *);

        static void f(char *p, int n){
               strcpy(p+n,"");
        }
        void g(void){
               f(0, 0);
        }

compile with cc -O -Kinline

that will trip it.

I still think that using the __SCO_VERSION__ preprocessor symbol is the better idea.
