To build under Ultrix 4.0 MIPS based processors, do the following:

	1) Run Configure up to the point that it asks for a shell escape.
	2) escape and edit config.sh.
	3) change the line for d_volatile to be 'undef'.
	4) change the line for optimize to '-g'.
	5) (optional) change the line for libs to '-ldbm -lfastm -lm'.
	6) write out the changes and continue.

Note, that if you have MIPSco cc version 2.10 or greater, you can build with
-O[234], but you will need to do some other hackery to the Makefile to be
able to achieve -O[34]. You can find the version of your compiler by using
the command (csh) 'cc -V foo.c |& grep Mips'.
