Thanks for the feedback, Marcus.  I got ffcall and compiled it under
IRIX 5.3 (it had problems with PIC and non-PIC code in the make check
under IRIX 6.2).  But when we tried to compile swarm, we get an internal
compiler error.  We are using a copy of gcc 2.7.2.2 for IRIX 6.2:

gmake[2]: Entering directory `/tmp_mnt/of/local/swarm/swarm-1.1/src/random'
gcc -c -g -O -Wall -Wno-import -I../../include  -DUSE_AVCALL C2LCGXgen.m
gcc: Internal compiler error: program cc1obj got fatal signal 10
gmake[2]: *** [C2LCGXgen.o] Error 1

Is this a familiar error?  I notice that your source+binary version is
for IRIX 5.3 built with gcc 2.8.0.  Do you know if that's required?
I'd like to avoid building gcc 2.8.0 if possible.
