SCO OpenServer doesn't use iBCS2, it's an SysVR4 ELF system. FreeBSD has notional support for it under the svr4 emulator in 4.x and -current, but hardly any testing has been done with SCO (I've been using Solaris binaries and libraries). If you want to play with it and send patches, feel free to bounce them my way.
