Howdy,

Just compiled pvm 3.3.7 on an R8000 box running IRIX 6.0.1.  I just
naively did "cd $PVM_ROOT; make", and it built, but there were some
worrying-looking warning messages about integer conversions:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
building in src
        cd src; ../lib/aimk install
making in SGI64/ for SGI64
        cc -O -I../../include -DARCHCLASS=\"SGI64\" -DIMA_SGI64 -DSYSVSIGNAL -DRSHCOMMAND=\"/usr/bsd/rsh\" -DNOWAIT3 -64 -TENV:large_GOT=ON -woff 1174 -DHASSTDLIB -c ../ddpro.c
"../ddpro.c", line 252: warning(1068): integer conversion resulted in a change
          of sign
                mp->m_cod = DM_HTDEL;
                            ^

"../ddpro.c", line 268: warning(1068): integer conversion resulted in a change
          of sign
                        mp->m_cod = SM_HOSTX;

[ ... etc etc ... ]

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: can I ignore these or will they cause trouble?  
   (I'm just a poor, overworked sysadmin, and I don't use pvm myself.
    So I don't have the time and motivation to go through the code to
    figure it out myself ;-)
