Right. This was a mistake on my part (as well as a bug in the compiler).

My setup has -fullwarn turned on by default, and it only has a few specific
warnings turned off. I'm guessing your toolset doesn't have -fullwarn
turned on.

A variety of IRIX 6.5 machines with MIPSpro 7.3 .

I'm thinking about suggesting something like this:

feature integer-model : unspecified ilp32 lp64 ; # add others as needed

to use instead of sgi-abi so that other 64-bit capable platforms can use
the same feature. For the ISA, I'll probably change sgi-isa to a free
feature (it doesn't affect link compatability), and maybe mips-isa would
be a more appropriate name.

Do any non-SGI mips platforms use `mips3' and/or `mips4'?

The name of the ABI in the documentation is `n64'. I agree it's confusing,
but calling it `n64' reflects its similarity to `n32', as opposed to `o32'.
