I think a special check is warranted. We *WANT* the run-path to work.
$ ld -V
UX:ld: INFO: Optimizing C Compilation System (CCS) 4.0 10/07/00 (UDK FS 7.1.1b)

Pre the Feature supplement the (CCS) number was less than 4.0:
UX:ld: INFO: Optimizing C Compilation System (CCS) 3.2 09/28/99 (santamariasbl5.1.rs1ubl7)

I'd use that as a check

Also the __SCO_VERSION__ was less than:
$ more xx.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
printf("__SCO_VERSION__=%ld\n",__SCO_VERSION__);
}
$ cc -O -o xx xx.c
$ ./xx
__SCO_VERSION__=400200010
$
I'd either parse ld -V or run a quick C program and check the first
digit of __SCO_VERSION__ for 4 or greater (or 3 or less to negate it).
