- When compiling on DECstation running Ultrix 4.0 a command 'cc -c -O
- regex.c' is causing an infinite loop in an optimizer. Other sources
- compile fine with -O flag. If you are going to use this flag either
- add a special rule to Makefile for a compilation of regex.c, or issue
- 'cc -c regex.c' before hitting 'make'.

- Just fyi -- it passes tests with flying colors under Ultrix 4.2. The
- README.ultrix file applies more than ever. You might want to add
- these paragraphs to it:
-
- As of Ultrix 4.2 the optimise works for regex.c, but you must give an
- additional switch to get everything optimised. Using '-Olimit 1500'
- does the job. Without the switch gawk will compile and run correctly,
- but you will get complaints about lost optimisations in builtin.c,
- awk.tab.c and regex.c.
-
- The configure for ultrix4.1 works just fine for ultrix4.2
