This will take a while.  The makefile log shows many compiler
warnings that we've never encountered before.  Consequently, we need to
go over them with a fine tooth comb.  Unfortunately, I'm busy with
something else at the moment, so I'm afraid you'll have to be patient.

In the meantime, would you tell me a little about IRIX 6.0 (we don't
have it here)?

    1.  What is the output from a `uname -s'?  Is it IRIX or IRIX64?
    
    2.  Is there an IRIX 6.0 (as opposed to an IRIX64 6.0)?  

    3.  What are the significant compilation and link environments?

    4.  What does setting SGI_ABI to `-64' do?

    5.  What's the difference between an IP20 CPU and an IP21?
