That warning about __register_frame_info_table sounds familiar, I also get
it when compiling Imlib 1.8.1. In my case the definition in libgdkimlib.so
preempts the one in libgcc.a. I have no idea what exactly causes it, but I
think that __register_frame_info_table should be a static symbol. It
hasn't caused any problems for me yet.

If it really annoys you, you can switch the warning off. Go to the
directory where gcc is installed. If you installed gcc 2.8.1 from Ariel
Faigon's tardist, it is in /usr/freeware/lib/gcc-lib/mips-sgi-irix6.3/2.8.1,
otherwise it is in the prefix you gave it when you built it. Edit the
"specs" file. Go to the "*link:" line. If there is already a "-woff 131"
argument, change it to "-woff 131,85". If there isn't a "-woff" argument,
insert one just before "-_SYSTYPE_SVR4".

Well, my O2 has it defined in /usr/include/pwd.h as:

  #if _POSIX1C
  extern int getpwuid_r(uid_t, struct passwd *, char *, size_t, struct passwd **);
  extern int getpwnam_r(const char *, struct passwd *, char *, size_t, struct passwd **);
  #endif

It is also in the C library: (nm /usr/lib32/libc.so | grep getpwuid)

  Symbols from /usr/lib32/libc.so:

  [Index]   Value      Size    Type  Bind  Other     Shndx   Name

  [333]   | 262456880|     436|FUNC |WEAK |DEFAULT  |MIPS_TEXT|_getpwuid
  [334]   | 262456880|     436|FUNC |WEAK |DEFAULT  |MIPS_TEXT|getpwuid
  [398]   | 262523440|      12|FUNC |GLOB |DEFAULT  |MIPS_TEXT|__sgi_getpwuid_r
  [399]   | 262523440|      12|FUNC |WEAK |DEFAULT  |MIPS_TEXT|getpwuid_r
  [2264]  | 262513856|     568|FUNC |GLOB |HIDDEN   |MIPS_TEXT|__files_getpwuid
  [2404]  | 262456880|     436|FUNC |GLOB |DEFAULT  |MIPS_TEXT|__sgi_getpwuid

But IMHO the size is actually a bit small, unless it calls getpwuid().
What's the getpwuid_r() function supposed to do? I don't have a manpage
for it.
