  I think you can shut it up with the "-w" flag.  /bin/hc1.4 seems to
  be the only compiler that will work in most cases.  All the others 
  crapped out when I tried to compile emacs 18.52.

  All of these worked right out of the box for me.  Are you sure you
  ifconfig'd the interface correctly?  We have 4 RT's sharing a
  subnet with Sun3's, Sun4's and Sun386i's running 4.0 and an SGI IRIS
  4D. They all recognize the rwho/ruptime info correctly between each other.

  I bagged R2 and compiled the R3 distribution off expo.lcs.mit.edu.
  It was improved by some patches from CMU.   I have it running only on
  the megapel display (We have 8514's and apa8c's, but it doesn't work
  on them).
