I've not seen this before, nor do I have any SGI boxes to look at, so there
will be some amount of blind shooting here.

You could try adding -DNEED_EXTERN_PC to the value of the LOCAL_CFLAGS
variable in lib/readline/Makefile and remaking terminal.o.  This changes
how PC is declared.  Then relink and see if that fixes the problem.
