SGI mips3 and thread safe

[Harley Blumenfeld]

I am not getting the error messages in the ttmutex file.
The error messages are in arch/unix/ttmmap.c. The compile errors
are happening in a part of the memory mapped file that within a
#ifdef TT_CONFIG_OPTION_THREAD_SAFE block. I've been looking
through the threads and porting documentation to see how the file
component works, and what could be the problem. Possibly some
macro argument isn't expanding correctly or something.

Any ideas, anyone?

Thanks,
Harley Blumenfeld
