I'd definitely use the platform definitions if available. ICU's 
umachine.h that I mentioned in my second message could be helpful. ICU 
is highly portable. AFAIK ICU is used on all platforms that IBM 
supports.

I thought about the patch that I attached to my previous message. It's 
probably better to move the ifdefs from the printf statements into the 
C code so that the ifdefs don't get into scmconfig.h. I'll post an 
updated patch later.
