Can't compile 8.2.3 or 9.1.0 with SCO OpenServer 5.0.6

[VT Agr. Sys Admin - Bob Troester]

Had no problem compiling installing 8.2.2p5 with either SCO OpenServer 5.0.4 or
5.0.6 (after updating ports/sco50/probe to include the new release), but I
cannot compile either Bind 8.2.3 or 9.1.x using the SCO development system. I
can't find any mention of these exact problems in the sco or bind newsgroups: it
seems no-one has got 9.1 ported to SCO (??).

The 8.2.3 problem seems simpler in that it appears that there is a SCO-specific
patch to protocol.h that hasn't been updated although protocol.h has been
changed:

        cp -p ../../../include/resolv.h resolv.h
        /usr/bin/patch -p0 -c -i resolv.h.diffs
Hmm...Looks like a new-style context diff to me...

It seemed to fail because a structure has been modified and no longer was what
patch was looking for. Eventually I might figure out how to patch the patch
myself - but does anyone know the fix already?

Actually I'd rather use Release 9, but the problem with 9.1.x is harder, since
so much has been changed. 'configure' runs with no complaints, but the make
fails:

The lines that it complains about are:
typedef long long			isc_int64_t;
typedef unsigned long long		isc_uint64_t;

I'm so out of it these days, I can't figure out why 'long long' is a invalid
type - maybe the SCO compiler is too primitive for fancier data types, in which
case maybe the best choice is to switch to Linux and gcc...

Any assistance is gratefully appreciated, &c.
