Tell configure to use cc -systype sysv.

Edit config.sh to disable volatile.

Edit Makefile after substitution to make LDFLAGS (not CLDFLAGS) -systype sysv

Compile with -Olimit 10000 -O if you have a lot of memory.

Available from mips.com (130.62.14.10) in /pub/perl_3.37.tar.Z find a
compressed tar file with a built version of perl 3.37 compiled under
risc/os. (.o's deleted).  The tar file contains a README.mips file for
more info.
