I snarfed and compiled 3.1b2 on a sparc II using Sun's Cfront 2.1.  It
required a single patch in lib/OS/file.c.  read(2) was not defined in
any of the standard include files (bug on Sun's part?) so I moved the
extern defun from the SGI def and the rest commpiled without error.

BUT, idemo & doc (perhaps others?) crash with a bus error. I am
including the application defaults in lib/appl-defaults. I am in the
process of recompiling with the -g option. Has this release been
tested on a sparc by anyone else. I have compiled all the previous
release with out a problem. 

thanks.
