I have access to the infosearch manuals, although they are scattered around
online, so you should be able to access them too... (eg
techpubs.sgi.com/infosearch or
http://techpubs.sgi.com/library/dynaweb_bin/ebt-bin/0650/nph-infosrch.cgi/in
fosrchtpl/SGI_Developer/Mpro_n32_ABI/%40InfoSearch__BookTextView/1624?DwebQu
ery=asm which is the n32 handbook.)

Anyway, I also have access to a variety of SGI hardware (IP22 -> IP35) and
so should be able to help testing, and will investigate the probably
compiler/as options. Will let you know how I go.

Thanks for the info!
