For some time now, SCO users have been puzzled by the "bc: 1 not
implemented" error that a 'make test' evokes.
A kind soul ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) confirmed in July 2000 that using GNU's bc
fixed the problem (as, not so surprisingly, SCO's bc just doesn't cut it.)
What follows is a patch to gently inform users that they need to install GNU
bc if they wish to run 'make test'. This patch only warns OpenServer 5
users, as it apparently works fine on UnixWare 2 and 7 (judging from the
lack of problem reports in the archives), and surely doubt that anyone
really wants to run OpenSSL on OpenServer 3.
