- The latest in my 'gawk on SGIs' stuff: with the newest SGI compilers
-(MIPSPro 7.1, just released) gawk 3.0 compiles and passes the selftests
-even at the highest (-O3) optimization level.
+GCC and gawk often don't mix on SGI systems. Use the native C compiler to
+compile gawk. `make test' should work ok, although the `tweakfld' test
+may fail. That's ok; see README.ultrix for the details on that one.
- - cks
+Note that the SGI compiler will complain about some constructs in
+regex.c and dfa.c. It's ok to ignore those complaints.
+If you ask me about this, I will fuss at you for not having done
+your homework!
