Ok! I've solved the problem :-)!!! With the last gcc provided by SCO now
I can build the Postgres. Was a prototype problem.

# gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i386-pc-sco3.2v5.0.5/2.95.2/specs
gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)

Here what I do:

the makefiles/Makefile.sco

LDFLAGS += -Wl,-Bexport
CFLAGS += -O2 -march=i586 -fomit-frame-pointer -melf
MK_NO_LORDER= true

%.so: %.o
$(CC) -melf -shared -o $@ $<

in include/port/sco.h we must add this include

#include <stdarg.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>

the first because the compiler fail to expand the va_* macros, and the 2nd
because
we need to define/prototype some net's related macros (htons, ntohs and so on).

Currently I've only one problem with the ecpg, that I was unable to build.
With the standard compiler
I don't have any problem to build ecpg. Below there is a link error that
seem to be related
with pgc.c:include/access/heapam.h:fastgetattr() -> nocachegetattr() that I
was unable to fix.
