Do we want to support IRIX 6.5? It doesn't appear to have strdup: cc-1515 c89: ERROR File = client.c, Line = 45 A value of type "int" cannot be assigned to an entity of type "char *". *output = strdup (p); ^ 1 error detected in the compilation of "client.c".
Would this be a reason to un-deprecate the 'strdup' module? According to http://www.sgi.com/products/software/irix/releases/ the last release of IRIX 6.5 was in February 2006, but according to http://www.sgi.com/services/support/irix_mips_support.html it is still supported through December 2013. I'm leaning towards treating it as obsolete, but I thought the data points may provoke some opinions. /Simon
