- Look at SGI's header files sometime. A lot of things are slightly or
- badly broken when using "-ansi" because "sgi" is not defined. Of
- course "__sgi__" is defined, but the header files usually say "#ifdef
- sgi". A few functions are left undefined; a few macros are defined
- incorrectly; some structures are defined incorrectly. Because of this
- problem, you may want to stay away from "-ansi" completely.

- Would you please list undefined functions, incorrect macro definitions
- and incorrect struct definitions. The list could help programmers to
- avoid broken definitions.
