Here are some comments :

1 how about a patch ? ( check out "man diff" ;)

this is a bug in your compiler, you should prolly send a bug report to
SGI ( or whoever wrote it... ), but in this case removing the return
indeed does no harm...

You should be careful with "using namespace"s, it could be harmful for
--enable-final stuff...

You didn't alter an moc file, right ?  Since those are auto-generated,
that would be _very useless_.  You should find another solution.  If
necessary, you should prolly send a bug report/patch to Qt about the
moc program...

hm... seems like a bug in your STL...

that's idd the correct fix, it seems to be in cvs already...

Does this mean pow on IRIX is declared pow( float, double ) ??
weird...

hm.. shouldn't that be PF_IPX  ?

s/fixed/worked around/ ;) since it _is_ valid c++ ...

hm.. shouldn't that be string.h ?

i think you can just remove all the labels like "source:" there
(provided they are in the right order...) ( although i think it's way
more readable like it is now, and it seems valid to me too... )

Anyway, very nice work, if you provide a patch, i'm sure it will
easily get committed..
Might be a cool thing for the famous "planned features" page: IRIX
port
cheers
