One of the simplest ways to fix this is to make sure the makefile uses 
cc -LARGE ( large compiler passes ) 

I have added drivers to the system many times, no problems yet. 

A couple of questions:

1.  Do you have enough memory to really go at compiling? I have found
(through personal experience) that you need AT LEAST 2 meg to get any real
work done in SCO system V. Here all our AT-S have at least 6.5 meg.

2.  What version and revision of SCO Xenix are you using. There have been
several updates to SCO Xenix. Version 2.1 is on the way. 2.0.6 had some
special changes to the way the kernel is linked.


I may be out of line posting this, but I have been using System V XENIX for
almost 6 months with pretty uniform results (good). As a matter of fact,
this was posted from an AT.


Hope this helps all who read it,
