i've just finished compiling gnuchess-4.0 (patchlevel 61) on an SGI
running IRIX 4.0.5.  this is problematic for those who want a book
made for the computer to use... so if you are frustrated by the
FIONREAD bug, read this:

in the files dspcom.c, gnuan.c, and nondsp.c, add the line
#undef FIONREAD
immediately after the line
#include <sys/ioctl.h>

then compile using gcc with CFLAGS= -O2 -funroll-loops
(i was compiling with gcc 2.4.3.1, the latest and greatest).

this seems to address the nastiness that SGI has perpetrated by
hybridizing between SVR4 and 4.3BSD.
