+When compiling on DECstation running Ultrix 4.0 a command 'cc -c -O
+regex.c' is causing an infinite loop in an optimizer. Other sources
+compile fine with -O flag. If you are going to use this flag either
+add a special rule to Makefile for a compilation of regex.c, or issue
+'cc -c regex.c' before hitting 'make'.

+Subject: Non-bug report on gawk 2.13.2

+
+Just fyi -- it passes tests with flying colors under Ultrix 4.2. The
+README.ultrix file applies more than ever. You might want to add
+these paragraphs to it:
+
+ As of Ultrix 4.2 the optimise works for regex.c, but you must give an
+ additional switch to get everything optimised. Using '-Olimit 1500'
+ does the job. Without the switch gawk will compile and run correctly,
+ but you will get complaints about lost optimisations in builtin.c,
+ awk.tab.c and regex.c.

+
+On Decstations using Ultrix 4.3, the tweakfld test case will fail. It
+appears that routines in the math library return very small but non-zero
+numbers in cases where most other systems return zero.

+
+On Ultrix 4.3, configure like this:
+
+ ./configure --disable-nls
+
+In custom.h, we defined HAVE_MKTIME in order to avoid a linker error.
+If you compile with
+
+ make check
+
+every test will pass, except for the badargs test:
+
+ *** Error code 1 (ignored)
+
+This shouldnt cause problems.
