Not entirely true.  At work (Statware, Inc.) I use SCO Unix System V (v?).
It will build objects for DOS & OS/2 by doing cc -dos or cc -os2.  I believe
it is a port of MSC 5.1 or so.  I wouldn't be surprised if Windows objects
could be built as well.  Even CodeView 2.4.3 has been ported to this
environment.  At last, a real debugger for the Unix environment!
