+/* 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 */
