A couple days ago I mailed in a patch to use _MIPS_SYMBOL_PRESENT to test at run-time whether jlimit_startjob() was present IRIX systems. I neglected to mention that the patch I sent in wasn't entirely complete: a _real_ fix would test '#include <optional_sym.h>' in configure, and also require either the MipsPRO 7.2.x or MipsPRO 7.3.1.3 or newer compiler.
