I don't know if this is a bug, but I hope you can me if it is.  I got the
latest version (emacs-19.27) from prep.ai.mit.edu yesterday and tried to
compile it on my SGI Indigo running IRIX 5.2.   I got a compile error telling
me that file "cmplrs/stsupport.h" couldn't be found to be #included by file
"/usr/include/syms.h".
These seem to be SGI OS files of some sort, and indeed the first one doesn't
exist.  Is there something I can easily do to get emacs to compile (i.e.
different options in the configure run or something), is this a problem with
the emacs code looking for a file that is obsolete, or is it an SGI problem.
We just upgraded from IRIX 4.0.5 to 5.2, and in the process managed to screw up
our old version of emacs (18.36 I think).  Any help would be appreciated.
