crashes on SGI (old compiler)

If anyone is successfully building on SGI using the old 7.1 compilers, please get in touch with me. I'm no longer on the list, but I thought I'd try building 21.2.12 on Irix. I've never been able to compile on this platform using the -n32 option (and -mips3), but I got farther this time. Compilation completed, but the executable usually barfs on startup (with -vanilla). If not at startup, then shortly thereafter. Yes, I've looked at PROBLEMS and this doesn't seem to be covered. I don't want to go on too much about it here, since these compilers are old and somewhat problematic anyway (had to back off optimization for md5.c from -O3 to -O1 to prevent apparently infinite compile time). Anyway, if anyone is successful on this platform, please get in touch. I have lisp backtraces and such. This couldn't be a mule thing, could it? I used the latest SUMO tarball (1999-03-05) and build w/o mule... Thanks, -- John A.
