  75.                     These notes describe the IRIX Compiler Execution
  76.                     Environment (_c_o_m_p_i_l_e_r__e_o_e), version 7.2 from
  77.                     Silicon Graphics, Inc.  The IRIX Compiler EOE
  78.                     contains compiler execution utilites such as _r_l_d
  79.                     and those base compiler libraries supplied as
  80.                     DSOs (dynamic shared objects).  DSOs are
  81.                     discussed in the _d_s_o(_5) man page.  The IRIX
  82.                     Compiler EOE supports MIPSpro compilers in
  83.                     either 64-bit, 32-bit, or high performance 32-
  84.                     bit (n32) compilation modes.
  85.  
  86.                     This subsystem contains exactly the same runtime
  87.                     libraries as were released for _c_o_m_p_i_l_e_r__e_o_e and
  88.                     _c__e_o_e on IRIX 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4 respectively.
  89.                     Patch 2016 contains the corresponding runtime
  90.                     libraries with both bug fixes and new features
  91.                     for MIPSpro 7.2.
  92.  
  93.                     Note:  Packaged with this software is a separate

  95.                            Agreement.  This software is provided to
  96.                            you solely under the terms and conditions
  97.                            of the Software License Agreement.

  145.                     The 7.2 IRIX Compiler EOE software
  146.                     (_c_o_m_p_i_l_e_r__e_o_e) includes these subsystems:
  147.  
  148.                     NOTE: The runtime libraries (DSOs) in these
  149.                     subsystems are identical to what was shipped on
  150.                     the corresponding IRIX releases and are provided
  151.                     as a convenience. However, the subsystems will
  152.                     appear as upgrades under inst, because changes
  153.                     have been made to certain non-runtime library
  154.                     files.
  155.  
  156.                     If, however, you need the latest runtime library
  157.                     fixes you must install the subsystems from patch
  158.                     2016 on top of this image.
