After some more effort on my part, i have been able to determine that
the problem is in the configure script.

SCO 3.2.4.2 has a broken dirname function in libgen,
The configure script from 3.5p1 detects this, however the configure
script from 3.6p2 does not detect that dirname is broken

I am clueless as to how to resolve this.

Gzipped configure from 3.6.1p2 rebuilt with autoconf-2.53

Bug #558 also relates to a broken dirname test.

There's was another bug where configure did not detect something on HP-UX
which
turned out to be some problem with the version of autoconf used for the 3.6.1p2
release.

Can you try the attached configure and see if it behaves itself?

Tried the attached configure script,
the 'new' configure script still sets HAVE_DIRNAME

Gzipped configure from 3.6.1p2 minus libgen.h test.

It seems that this is due to the libgen.h test being added before the dirname
test.  Please try attached configure.

$ cvs log configure.ac

 - (djm) Most of Bug #499: Cygwin compile fixes for new progressmeter

I'm wondering if there should be two test: HAVE_DIRNAME and BROKEN_DIRNAME? 
The existing test is fairly complex.

the newer config script still fails:
checking for library containing basename... -lgen
checking whether strsep is declared... no
checking for dirname... yes
checking libgen.h usability... no
checking libgen.h presence... no

from config.log
configure:7269: checking for dirname
configure:7312: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wno-uninitialized
 -Dftruncate=chsize -I/usr/local/include  -L/usr/local/lib conftest.c -lgen -lin
tl -lz -lsocket  -los -lprot -lx -ltinfo -lm >&5
configure:7315: $? = 0
configure:7318: test -s conftest
configure:7321: $? = 0
configure:7331: result: yes


I've download the newest configure script three times, still the same.

After reading bug #558 it looks like even if we detect a broken dirname then 
then next problem will be a type conflict for dirname ("char *" versus
"const
char *" arguments).  The easy way to fix that is remove "const"
from openbsd-
compat/dirname.[ch].  Comments, anyone?
