Ok, anyone got any idea why tcsh version 6.07.02 won't ^Z job suspend
when compiled for SGI irix 5.3? Everything _seems_ to compile ok,
but then it just won't ^Z...

Hmm... actually that's if I change the Makefile to use CC=cc.
If I leave it as CC=gcc I end up with:

gcc -c -I. -I.. -O sh.c
In file included from sh.c:49:
ed.h:210: field `d_ltc' has incomplete type

Huh... and the "Fixes" file claims that SGI fixes were included...

What does 'stty -a' report about your susp parameter?
If you ^Z in an editor, does the ^Z show up in the editor
or does the tcsh trap it and just not do the right thing?

Ok, I found out (some) of what's going on -- the list of link libraries
were wrong. To compile under irix 5.3 you _cannot_ just rely on
./configure to set up the Makefile properly. You _must_ go into
Makefile and set the LIBES variable to "-lcurses -lbsd", otherwise,
it's no go on the ^Z... I havn't tracked it down in any more detail,
but that change fixes things for me.

Evidently, "./configure" really hasn't been properly setup up yet -- I
believe it's a relatively new addition to the tcsh package. It looks
like it was just tacked on...
