+Some Irix cc versions, e.g. 7.3.1.1m (try cc -version) have been known
to have issues (coredumps) when compiling perl.c. If you've used
-OPT:fast_io=ON and this happens, try removing it. If that fails, or
you didn't use that, then try adjusting other optimization options
(-LNO, -INLINE, -O3 to -O2, etcetera). The compiler bug has been
reported to SGI. (Allen Smith <easmith@beatrice.rutgers.edu>)
