Sigh. It seems that the SCO Xenix/286 v2.2.1 preprocessor grabs the
line right before the glob.h definition of FMETA which is:

#define META "/*?[{"

and fails to parse out the /* as being in a string ... so it becomes
an unclosed comment! And the FMETA definition on the next line never
happens... and it doesn't even complain about the unclosed comment :(

I moved the /*? around to get /?* and now the preprocessor is
happy and it all works. SIGH

Thanks anyway folks...
