It's difficult to use the original compiler if you don't have one, and
they're not cheap.  Somewhere I have a complete GNU development
environment which I built some time ago, and which I could package up
if anybody's interested.  It includes the GNU C library, fixed to work
with SCO.  I'll see if I can download it cheaply enough (Internet
access costs me an arm and a leg).
