Summary

• binutils through 1.15 seem to build without modification, but are very old ( <= 2003 ).
• binutils through 1.20.1 build with known patch workarounds (age ~ 2009; 2011 modifications are likely packaging/build only).

  The patched source package is published on github: https://github.com/kbulgrien/binutils-2.20.1a-sco3.2v5.0.7

• binutils > 1.20.1 do not build as of 2018/12.

  The most easily seen error message occurs during `make`:

  Attempts to build newer versions may present a challenge as it appears SCO support was removed at some point.

  $ cd /csdi/src/sco507/gnu/binutils-2.31/binutils $ CFLAGS="-static" \ ./configure --prefix=/csdi/src/sco507/root/usr/local ... *** Configuration i686-pc-sco3.2v5.0.7 is obsolete. *** Support has been REMOVED.

  Additional effort is required to find a way to resolve the build issues.
