On SCO, ccsym becomes /bin/cc -b elf -ii -E foo.c, which after filtering
gives the symbols below. If I omit "-b elf", the last line is replaced
by the two lines
'-D_M_COFF'
'-D_SCO_COFF'

How about _SCO_DS as the define when testing for SCO's native
compiler? (I confess ignorance as to SCO's intended use of this symbol.)
