We are porting Kyoto Common Lisp to our Silicon Graphics
workstations (Personal Iris and 3000 series) and have come
across a few problems.

On the Iris 3130:
	We cannot get KCL to generate a saved state by dumping
	to a file.  The root of this problem is likely in the
	unix_save.c routines.

On the Personal Iris:
	A few of the functions are written with in-line assembly
	code.  These functions (in earith.c and bitop.c) have to
	be converted into assembler code for the MIPS processor.

If someone has already performed the modifications or even
attempted some of these mods. I would appreciate hearing some
feedback.
