Hm. Is anyone likely to still be using a version of that compiler that
still has such limitations?

I ask because we recently pulled "#define DISABLE_COMPLEX_MACRO" from
port/sco.h, on the grounds that various people were seeing more harm
than good from it. But I'm suddenly wondering whether those people
might've been using gcc. I wonder if

#ifndef __GNUC__
#define DISABLE_COMPLEX_MACRO
#endif

in port/sco.h would be the smart way to go.
