Please note the following bug if you try to build Emacs for SR9.7:

   In compiling the file apollo.c with flags: -Demacs -M3000 -w
   on a DN3000 running SR9.7,  the compiler complains about
   incompatible types in the following line:

   Background = (ColorDisplay ? gpr_$inq_background(Status) : 0);

   I've tried casting the call to gpr_$inq_background but the compiler
   doesn't like that either.  Any suggestions?

Oops.  It seems the GPR insert file for 9.7 is bogus.  It contains the lines:

std_$call void   gpr_$inq_background ();

std_$call void   gpr_$inq_foreground ();

which should be

std_$call gpr_$pixel_value_t  gpr_$inq_background ();

std_$call gpr_$pixel_value_t  gpr_$inq_foreground ();

as they are in the SR9.7.1 insert file.
