+/* Extrapolating from Irix 6.5, the problem is that (at least) the
+   bzero definition breaks what the X headers do.  The following means
+   that we lack prototypes for these functions, and we presumably lose
+   at least in the 64-bit ABI (though that's only supported on Irix
+   6.5, which I can test).  We may be saved by the fact that these
+   appear to be intrinsics in the SGI (Cray) compiler.  It's probably
+   appropriate to include strings.h here, but I can't test it.  See
+   irix6-5.h.  -- fx  */
