SCO Openserver 5.0.4 - add comment to hint file re compiler bug

Perl 5.004_02 successfully compiles and passes all tests under SCO
Openserver 5.0.4p.

However, there is a bug in the Optimizing C Compiler (ver 2.1.4d).  When
using icc as the compiler, optimization must either be turned off or set to
"-O0" -- otherwise the "pack" tests fail.  The bug has been reported to SCO.
