Here is what the SCO Folks said when I reported this back in August:

You can reduce the example down to

extern char *strcpy(char *, const char *);

static void f(char *p, int n){
strcpy(p+n,"");
}
void g(void){
f(0, 0);
}

compile with cc -O -Kinline

that will trip it.

I still think that using the __SCO_VERSION__ preprocessor symbol is the
better idea.
