Swarm 1.4 on IRIX6.5

[Jonathan Impett]

Hello,
    Having managed to get Swarm-1.3.1 to the point of failing with a
segmentation error at the point of running heatbugs, which we finally
managed to persuade IRIX6.5 to compile, we decided to cut our losses and
start again with 1.4. Sadly, swarm itself now it determinedly sticks at
one of the previous hurdles - even when gmaking with CFLAGS=-O2, which
appeared to solve it in 1.3.1 (probably not, in fact, hence heatbugs
wouldn't run).
    The other relevant software we have running is gcc (appears to work
fine), the n32 Xpm from IRIX itself, BLT2.4 (demo works), libpng ("test
OK") and xlib ("passes test"), tcl/tk8.0 (installed directly from sgi
freeware site), and libffi ("Looks good. No surprises"). I've also tried
ffcall (1.3.1 and 1.4 which claims to support IRIX6.4 - I don't know
what should change for 6.5) to no avail.
    The terrible lines run as follows (shortly after starting gmake):
sg 3# gmake CFLAGS=-O2

    I append the results of ./ configure below, in case that holds a
clue.
    Anyone any ideas? A pint of warm English beer is at stake.
