=head2 Irix 5.3
+While running Configure and when building, you are likely to get
+quite a few of these warnings:
+
+ ld:
+ The shared object /usr/lib/libm.so did not resolve any symbols.
+ You may want to remove it from your link line.
+
+Ignore them: in IRIX 5.3 there is no way to quieten ld about this.
+
+During compilation you will see this warning from toke.c:
+
+ uopt: Warning: Perl_yylex: this procedure not optimized because it
+ exceeds size threshold; to optimize this procedure, use -Olimit option
+ with value >= 4252.
+
+Ignore the warning.

In IRIX 5.3 and with Perl 5.8.1 (Perl 5.8.0 didn't compile in IRIX 5.3)
the following failures are known.
