  On our SGI's with IRIX6.5 it turned out to be not a good idea to compile
glib/gtk with SGI's C compiler. The resulting gtk version only worked halfway
and I remeber, that there was some hacking necessary to get it to compile. So I
suggest to use gcc before you start brushing up the source too much. Pretending
on cc may result in a not fully functional gtk.
