IIRC it wasn't first time when I removed them so I'm quite surprised that it
wasn't discovered earlier. *.sc files are at the top titled:

  #Makefile from wxHatch for Symantec/Digital Mars compiler

I don't think wxHatch is part of our build system and as far as I know DMC is
now suported by makefile.dmc and makefile.dms. Digital Mars is new incarnation
of Symantec and it fixes lots of mising C++ features so I vote to not maintain
*.sc files anymore.

makefile.dos is titled:

  Makefile : Builds samples for Win95, MSVC++ 16-bit

Well, I believe it says all. I vote for removal of them in 2.7. AFAIK
configure and Makefile.in do support DOS builds (they are in tinderbox) and
build/mgl do support dos builds using Watcom and MGL toolkit.

I admit makefile.unx are beyond my knowledge. I removed them noticing that
their last commit was earlier than for the other (dos|sc) makefiles I removed.
They were clearly from before curent build system existence so perhaps I
wrongly assumed they are unused. But if the problem is that I forgot to remove
entry in build/bakefiles/make_dist.mk then I would prefer this final touch
rather than recommiting really unused file.

Please suggest final route.
