Re: Compile fix for SCO OPenServer

I have m4-1.4.3 at 

ftp://ftp.zenez.com/pub/zenez/prgms/m4-1.4.3-osr6-all.tar.gz

I really have to be able to use configure for most of my OpenSource 
Projects for SCO OS's.

I made the changes so that most things work with the auto tools.  

I'm not a SCO guru by any means...

I'm just a user on someone else's SCO machine, just trying to make sure
that the software I write is "fairly portable"...

I'm willing to carry a good and useful tool (like git) in my home
directory in that endeavour, but I'm not carrying all of the GNU stack
in my home directory so I can run configure git is a bit much ;-)

I did a VM install of OpenServer 6 to try things out.  I was able to get 
your -Wall failure, but once I ran the CC=cc CXX=CC ./configure I was able 
to run gmake without any errors. I did have to install the M4 from above 
to get configure to work.  So, the straight out of the box install has to 
have gnu m4 to run configure. 

So configure.ac must have some magic in it that allows configure to
notice -Wall doesn't work.  You can see what it choose in
config.mak.autogen I think.  But I'm pretty glad for the kbuild style
Makefile in git not requiring autoconf/automake/etc.
 

-g and -O2 are mutually exclusive.  You can have either one but not both.

Yes, and I think the default to cc matches -g, not -O2, hence my
failures unless setting -O2.

I do have tcl and tk

I'm sure... I might even find it burried somewhere on this machine too,
but I have no real need for it.
