I passed all test suite on RISC/os 4.50ij in bsd world.
perl@41 include my patch for MIPS architecture which can't
convert big float to long correctly.  However since that fix
is enabled when CASTNEGFLOAT is not defined, you have to
edit config.sh to disable it.  I think my fix is not smart.
If anybody found better way, please tell Larry.

I changed 'nm' to 'nm -B' in Configure command and edit
config.sh after running it.  Here is a diff output with
config.sh made by only hitting RETURN key.

Optimizing level is not enough, but I gave up level 3000
because it took looooooong time...
