I have tried compiling epoch-4.2 that I obtained Monday evening from
cs.uiuc.edu on a MIPS R3330 running RISCos 4.52 and another one
running the "new" RISCos 5.0.  I am using the system default compilers
in the bsd43 world (i.e. /bsd43/bin/cc). I am running with
config/s-bsd4-3.h and m-mips4.h.

The following two comments apply to both OSs and the last at the
bottom only to RISCos 5.0.  Once I implemented item 2, I was able to
get a version of epoch for RISCos 4.52.  The third item is preventing
me from doing it under 5.0.

1)	The KERNEL_FILE is defined as "/vmunix" in the s-bsd4-3.h
which shouldn't work for mips.  I added a define in m-mips4.h to
change it to /unix.  Maybe I missing something.

2)	I had to modify src/fileio.c for BOTH systems so that the NULL
definition in lisp.h was defined AFTER the inclusion of <sys/dir.h>
where it is defined again!

3)	I am having difficulty having it "kill" itself under RISCos
5.0 (it dumped fine under 4.52).  It doesn't seem to want to generate
an 'epoch' when it says it is dumping:

Dumping under names epoch and epoch-4.2.7
make[1]: *** [epoch] Killed
make: *** [doall] Error 1


I don't understand enough to figure this out yet.  RISCos 5.0 has
dynamic libs and is more SVR4 like.  Any tips on why it won't dump
itself you give me are appreciated.

Thanks,
