I cannot compile pooma applications with g++ 2.95.2 on irix without
-fsquangle. If use of -fsquangle is unacceptable for regression testing,
then application testing c++ on irix is trivial - nothing builds with g++
2.95.2 so there can be no regressions. I was hoping to do better than this,
and am seeking guidance.
