That's interesting to have - could you send me the modified  
makefiles; I think I might be able to put them to some good use ...

Well, it's not one that I know of.  Could you make a standalone  
program of it that fails ?  As far as I can see from the Makefile in  
LAPACK/TIMING/EIG, this cannot be to hard.  If it's not too large -  
note the egcs list's limit of 40K - you might send it to the list,  
*including* the compile flags that were used *and* the input file.   
Please, make sure before you do so that the standalone source indeed  
fails.

Unfortunately, the one (Fortran) person I know who has access to  
IRIX 6.2 systems is Dave Love, and he just went away for a week.

Thanks,
Toon.
