There are new failures on UnixWare 2.03 and OpenServer 5.0.4.
Of all those platforms listed, those two are the ones I least care about.
There are probably only a handful of UW2.03 boxes running in the entire
world. And I'm probably the only one that tries to run libtool on it.
Although there are more OpenServer 5.0.4 boxes running, it's likely that
the number of libtool users on 5.0.4 are very small. They normally just
go to SCO's skunkware site and download binaries.

The platforms we care about, UnixWare 7.1.4, OpenServer 6.0.0,
OpenServer 5.0.7, (and to a lesser extent) UnixWare 7.1.1 are either
the same or better. (And even if they are the same test wise, what
Kean has done is more correct (ignoring the SCOBASEPATH stuff))

I've attached the failures from UW711. I'll be glad to try out any
ideas on how to fix the 3 failures.

I suspect if we can figure out the build-relink test that will fix
the build-relink2 test also. Those 2 would would put the OpenServer 5.0.4
even with before.
