I tried compiling a public domain MIPS architecture (SPIM), and ran
into several problems. Here is one that appears to be a bug in an
SGI header file, syms.h (4.0.5F; in 4.0.1, the "__mips" is replaced by
"mips"):

There is a line

#if __mips

followed a few lines down by

#else  /* !defined(__mips) */

Surely "#if X" is not the same as "#if defined(X)" - so either the
"#if" or the comment is wrong.

More important - between the "#if" and the "#else" is

#include "cmplrs/stsupport.h"

which header file doesn't exist (nor does the directory cmplrs).

Any hints on how to work around this would be welcome. I would rather
not patch the header file unless reassured that this won't break
anything else.

For that matter if anyone has built SPIM or any other architecture
simulator it would be useful for a course I am giving soon.
