Hi,
I am trying to build X11R4 under UltrixV4.1 on a DS 5000, and contrarly to most of the people
(from what I've seen in the posted messages) I'm running into trouble at compiling time.
The compiler is the cc (MIPS) compiler and it gives error messages when making files
in .../mit/clients/xterm, for the following files:
	main.c
	charproc.c
	misc.c
and here are the details from the file make.world:
 >everything is fine up to here

making all in ./clients/xterm...
rm -f main.o
cc -c -O -Wf,-XNh2000 -Olimit 2000  -I../../.       -DUTMP   main.c
ccom: Error: main.c, line 823: illegal lhs of assignment operator
                        ((int)(((&_iob[2]))->_file)) = i;
      --------------------------------------------------^
*** Error code 1
