I've installed emacs 18.55 on our Mips machines (M/120's and
RC2030's). It seems to work okay, but...

Some of the config options I'm using don't make sense to me, and there
are some options I'm just plain unsure of.

I guess my first question would be, should I compile with the SysV
or Bsd43 environment? I've used SysV because I'm more familiar with
SysV.

Real unknowns are, do I need to (or should I) define
	NO_REMAP
	VIRT_ADDR_VARIES
	HAVE_TIMEVAL
	IRIS

What about the dir(3) library stuff? I can have either
	NONSYTEM_DIR_LIBRARY	emacs will emulate 4.2 opendir() et al.
or
	SYSV_SYSTEM_DIR		I like this one.

Defining SYSV_PTYS causes trouble (the compile fails, I don't remember
the symptom) so I've undef'd it, is this correct?

Are SIGIO and FIONREAD really broken as m-mips.h suggests? Can I
(should I) use them?

m-mips.h also undefs static. Yet s-usg5-3.h suggests that static is
really not a good thing. What do you think?
