   I tried to many times, but I failed.  I finally got g++ to compile,
   as well as its library, but when trying to make groff it died *while
   compiling* ("unaligned access").  I give up.  I don't really think
   g++ is made for Ultrix/mips (as it says in one of its readme files).

I built the version from foobar.colorado.edu in pub/Gnu-For-Pmax
(gcc-1.9.2.13 and g++-1.9.2.11).  Mail from meissner said for gcc you
have to edit gcc.c near line 1298 and change > 3 to >= 3.  Similarly,
for g++ you must make the same change near line 1289 of gcc.c.

Following the directions in the makefiles for MIPS and COFF I then
made a system that built libg++-1.37.2(xtar) from labrea and also
built groff.  It all seems to be working well.
