I would say that the UnixWare 2.x is obsolete as it stands now.  Most (if not 
all) of the changes made for Unixware 7 would apply to UnixWare 2.1 or greater 
if the SCO Universal Development Kit (UDK) was used to build it, but I no 
longer have the means to test this.

Also, the binary generated by the UDK on UnixWare 7.0 should be able to run 
under UnixWare 2.1+ and SCO OpenServer 5.x.  I will obtain the 4.2 tar ball 
and generate a binary version (pkgadd format) that can be used to test this. 
(I already have someone willing to try the binaries on SCO OpenServer.)
