As I have said previously, for MIPSco compilers prior to version 2.10, you will not
be able to use -O. You have to use -g due to bugs in the optomizer. Ultrix 4.0 comes
with version 2.0 of cc (verified by a 'cc -V foo.c | grep Mips').

The other gotcha to be sure to avoid is that configure determines that the keyword
volitile is supported, when in fact the compiler chokes on it in many cases. You
should edit the config.sh script when given the option at the end of Configure and
'undef' d_volitile.
