I guess the patch text itself seems to be getting reasonable, and perhaps
the next few rounds would be to fix the commit log message ;-)

What makes SCO_SV so special that this platform specific tweak does not
live in "Platform specific tweaks" section like others?

CFLAGS is for the user to oerride from the command line, and I do not very
much like any tweaks in Makefile.  I'd suggest dropping this hunk.

s/=/ = /; you have similar one elsewhere.

I am only guessing what -Kalloca is, but is it for alloca(3), and if so do
you still need it?

We generally do not do changelog inside the code comment.

Linewrapped patch?  It is very curious that you have + in front of "fined(_M_UNIX)".
