+# Known limitations:
+# - On IRIX 6.5 with CC="cc", the run time search patch must not be longer
+#   than 256 bytes, otherwise the compiler driver will dump core. The only
+#   known workaround is to choose shorter directory names for the build
+#   directory and/or the installation directory.

 # which needs '.lib').
