	They will find the bug report at :
	http://egcs.cygnus.com/ml/egcs-bugs/1999-05/msg00099.html

	I found a quick and dirty workaround to this bug. Setting
	CXXFLAGS and CFLAGS to -g will make the offending file
	compile.

	Sounds right to me.

	Now, I will concentrate on POSIX threads beacause it seems
	easier to port existing code. If I find time maybe will I
	have a look at irix threads.

	Right now, the mips-sgi port still doesn't compile completely.
	The build stops in the file libgcj/libjava/boehm.cc when building
	for -mabi=64. The error is :

	libgcj/libjava/boehm.cc: In function `void _Jv_InitGC()':
	libgcj/libjava/boehm.cc:326: implicit declaration of function `int
__lock_release(...)'

	I'm trying to fix this and I will post here if I manage to
	make libgcj compile/test correctly under irix 6.5.
