SCO Unix has a compiler that makes a feeble pretense at being ANSI.  It's
ridiculously inept in some areas.  Look at the definition of offsetof() in
<stddef.h> for example: it evaluates to a (char *) instead of an integer.

I would advise anyone writing C programs on this system to get the GNU
C compiler.
