I'm not sure how to answer this.  Greg also mentioned that he has been
running under IRIX with no problems as well.  I'll answer the best as I
can, telling my experience.

Chromium would not compile or run on our vis server "riptide", a 48-node
IR.  As an example, the cc compiler (MIPSpro Compiler Version 7.2.1.3m)
failed on the //-style comments.  "uname" reports the OS as:  IRIX64
riptide 6.5 6.5.7f 01200451 IP27 mips

Most of the other changes I made were merely adding casts to types that
were undergoing automatic conversion anyway.  I just added the explicit
casts as were done in the rest of the code.

I added -lm to the link line of most of the code in the "progs" directory
as the linker complained that some trig functions were needed.

As for running, I am still looking into why crappfaker is not working.  It
is acting as if the programs (I'm using atlantis as a test) were linked
statically with the system OpenGL library.


Coming to a more important point:  Have any of my changes adversely
affected anyone?  I ran my changes on Linux to be sure that I hadn't
affected that OS.  But I didn't test under any others.  Please let me know
if I have broken Chromium for you.
