configure: WARNING: term.h: present but cannot be compiled

On 22 Aug 2003 09:57:08 -0700, rumours say that nws088 at bco.com (Joshua

Sorry, no, I haven't had any use for termios so far, and I'm currently
working on making socketmodule.c compile OK without my having to add a
few constants by hand each time... the configure script enables various
POSIX defines for Irix, and these constants are not part of POSIX.

If I ever look into termios, I'll post a patch to SF, which might (or
not) help you :(

Sorry again, gcc produces slower code than MIPSPro on MIPS processors,
so I don't compile python with it.

Wouldn't know.
