RE: java testsuite results from irix 6.5

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

Sorry.  Bad choice of terminology.  The .S files need to be run through the
preprocessor before as.  The .s files don't.  As you point out,
mips_sgi_mach_dep clearly needs to be run through the preprocessor, and
hence should end in .S .  Gcc by default invokes the preprocessor on .S
files, but not on .s files, though there is a flag to override that.
