I just tried this on mips-sgi-irix6.5 with some debug printf's in
f/intrin.c and there's something fishy about its `bsearch' function.

If I look at compile/pr3743.f in the Fortran testsuite, the following
happens:

It starts the search at `bitest' in the intrinsics table (f/intrin.def)
- the search then fails.  If I force the build to use libiberty's
`bsearch' (by including the source of it in f/intrin.c), the search
starts at `iiqint', which indeed is the middle of the table - the search
succeeds.

Does this indicate a problem with IRIX's bsearch ?  I assume a binary
search *has* to start with the middle of the table ...
