RE: gcj 3.0.x under SGI MIPS/Irix 6.5???

["Boehm, Hans" <hans_boehm at hp dot com>]

It looks to me like there is a missing volatile qualifier (actually
"VOLATILE", which is #define'd away for ancient compilers) in the
GC_collecting declaration at line 660 in hpux_irix_threads.c.

I haven't been able to test the collector under Irix since I left SGI.  Thus
it's conceivable that you might encounter other problems along these lines.

I personally think it would be most useful to go through this exercise with
the current CVS version, given that nothing is likely to work straight of
the box.  This particular bug, for example, already seems to have gotten
fixed in the trunk.
