gnu textutils doesn't compile on IRIX 5.3

[jason andrade]

Hi,

Just letting you know i cannot get gnu-textutils 2.1 to compile
on SGI IRIX 5.3 (with the SGI IDO and all available public
patches applied)

I can't try gcc because gcc3 doesn't compiler on IRIX 5.3 either
as yet :-)

The error i get is:

make[3]: Entering directory `/server/source/build/textutils-2.1/lib'
source='c-stack.c' object='c-stack.o' libtool=no \

I can make an account available on this machine if someone wants to look
at it..  It is/will be a public access IRIX 5.3 box for public/opensource
software testing.
