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.
