-DECstation (mips-dec-ultrix or mips-dec-osf)
-
-  This machine is the older Mips-based DECstation.
-  Emacs should now work on the Alpha CPU.
-
-  19.25 works on Ultrix 4.2.  The 19.26 pretest was reported to work
-  on Ultrix 4.2a and on 4.4.
-
-  One user reported 19.25 did not work at all with --with-x-toolkit
-  using X11R5 patch level 10, but worked ok with X11R5 pl26.
-
-  See under Ultrix for problems using X windows on Ultrix.
-  Note that this is a MIPS machine.
-
-  For Ultrix versions 4.1 or earlier, you may need to define
-  SYSTEM_MALLOC in `src/m/pmax.h', because XvmsAlloc.o in libX11.a seems
-  to insist on defining malloc itself.
-
-  For Ultrix versions prior to 4.0, you may need to delete
-  the definition of START_FILES from `src/m/pmax.h'.

-  The C compiler on Riscos 4.51 dumps core trying to optimize
-  parts of Emacs.  Try without optimization or try GCC.

-  Meanwhile, the linker on that system returns success even if
-  there are undefined symbols; as a result, configure gets the

-  Use mips-mips-riscos4.0 for RISCOS version 4.
-  Use mips-mips-bsd with the BSD world.

-  Note that the proper configuration names for DECstations are
-  mips-dec-ultrix and mips-dec-osf.

-  If you are compiling with GCC, then you must run fixincludes;
-  the alternative of using -traditional won't work because
-  the definition of SIGN_EXTEND_CHAR uses the keyword `signed'.

-  If the SYSV world is the default, then you probably need the following

-
-  Some operating systems on MIPS machines give SIGTRAP for division by
-  zero instead of the usual signals.  The only real solution is to fix
-  the system to give a proper signal.
-
-  In the meantime, you can change init_data in data.c if you wish.
-  Change it to handle SIGTRAP as well as SIGFPE.  But this will have a
-  great disadvantage: you will not be able to run Emacs under a
-  debugger.  I think crashing on division by zero is a lesser problem.

-  address@hidden reported needing to use --x-libraries=/bsd43/usr/lib
