I found that merely adding "typedef char *va_list;" to tiffio.h did the
trick - YMMV ;)


It's interesting to note that some of the packages listing in your
bulk-build list as failing did work for me...  IIRC gtar was okay.


At the moment my problem is with groff with which, as I mentioned
previously (sorry for repeating myself!) I get:

cc-1132 CC: ERROR File = /usr/include/stdlib.h, Line = 26
  The namespace "std" has no member "abs".

  __SGI_LIBC_USING_FROM_STD(abs)
  ^

1 error detected in the compilation of "font.cpp".

... and I haven't got a clue how to approach fixing this one (other than
creating a local copy of stdlib.h and remove the reference to "abs"...)

Any ideas to get me moving?


P.S.
PR30940 - Treat MIPSpro like Apple gcc (po_lex.*) fixes
PR31137 - Building without threads works
PR31273 - Adding -lgen fixes

Cheers,
