	I'm trying to get 4.0 up on our SGI boxen running Irix 3.3.2.
make test is still rather unhappy.  One problem I've definitely
identified is that toke.c and sys/file.h conflict over what f_next
should be; SGI's include file has

#define f_next		f_up.f_unext

which gives cc fits.  I'm not sure which is better style -- a name
change by Larry or a strategically placed #undef.
