Understand! Manual parsing can be done if neccessary with the log afterward,
after all.

-32 (same as -o32) or -n32?

are the ones I'm using in a run I just started (see below) for testing what
usemallocwrap is doing. For -n32 vs -32/-o32 (yours may well be defaulting
to -o32, partially depending on what if anything is in
/etc/compiler.defaults (or equivalent for older cc's):

==
-Accflags='-n32'
-Accflags='-32'

or, alternatively,

==
-Accflags='-n32'

to lock it on a -n32 run. I am currently starting a run on a -n32/-o32 only
machine running IRIX 6.5 using -n32 only but both the -Uusemallocwrap and
-Dusemallocwrap options.

Ah. R4600 == no -mips4, just -mips3. It _should_ be able to do -n32, unless
the SGI FAQs entry is incorrect.

Fortunately, if it fails, it does so pretty soon, since it is failing prior
to the main perl tests.
