Nope, sorry. Should I?
no, not really -- I just didn't now whether I should CC you.
We should probably stick with unexelfsgi.c, at least for now. Maybe
some day I can try to port/generalize Max Matveev's change to
unexelf.c
OK, I'm building with Max's patch now.

I'm going to give it a try on IRIX and Solaris7. In fact, on all
platforms I've got. Unfortunately, this patch can't possibly make any
difference on Solaris7 :-(
BTW, which compiler is being used on Solaris7? In 32 or 64 bits mode?
Good questions. From what I can see some used gcc (one mentioned
having tried gcc 2.8.1 and egcs 1.1.2) and one used Sun's cc.
I would guess that most people used 32bit. One report mentioned the
same problem on Sparc and x86 Solaris7.
