I see it's not a prob since it's far away from compiling on NeXTstep
anyways. :-\

Patch is attached.

Unfortunately it doesn't compile as easily as on Solaris. ftpd uses
strsignal, which doesn't exist on IRIX and talkd has some problems with
socklen_t and other socket related stuff which I don't have time to figure
out right now. Also newest IRIX upgrade to 6.5.13 seems to fix the wacky
talkd. So I'll again leave it as it is for now.

Thanks for your time.
