	I've built a working xcopilot-0.6.6 binary on Irix 6.2, using
the native C compiler (I had some bad o32/n32 issues with gcc) and a
couple of patches to the xcopilot source to deal with some non-ANSI
code (C++ style comments and mult-line character constants). I've sent
the patches to the maintainer, but they haven't shown up yet; I can
send them to you personally if you like.

	I haven't yet successfully built the cross-targeted
gcc-2.7.2.2+prc-tools patches, on Irix 6.2, although I know it can be
done on Irix 5.3. I keep getting internal errors from xgcc in the
libgcc2 build stage. Haven't had time to track it down yet.
