Configure determines that volatile is accepted by the mips compiler (riscos 4.1 and decstation 3100 ultrix), but unfortunately the mips compiler doesn't accept storage class specifications after a '*'; e.g., extern char * blah; char extern * blah; are acceptable but char * extern blah; is not (the same for static and volatile). The easy solution is to claim that volatile isn't understood. The harder one is to edit all the volatile declarations. Sigh. -- Gardner Cohen beldar@mips.com (408) 991-6567
