 > gettext has been updated -- is the problem still there?
 
 Yes - the problem is still present.
 
 The solution is to add an additional check to see whether SGI is
 defined, and if so treat the code in the same way as with the Apple
 compiler (e.g. don't attempt anything clever with po_*_error in
 po-lex.c).
 
 NB: I'm not sure if SGI is defined if using GCC on IRIX - but even if it
 were, then you'd have two less functions explicitly inlined, versus not
 compiling with an entire family of compilers.
