When compiling on DECstation running Ultrix 4.0 a command 'cc -c -O
regex.c' is causing an infinite loop in an optimizer.  Other sources
compile fine with -O flag.  If you are going to use this flag either
add a special rule to Makefile for a compilation of regex.c, or issue
'cc -c regex.c' before hitting 'make'.

Just fyi -- it passes tests with flying colors under Ultrix 4.2.  The
README.ultrix file applies more than ever.  You might want to add
these paragraphs to it:

 As of Ultrix 4.2 the optimise works for regex.c, but you must give an
 additional switch to get everything optimised.  Using '-Olimit 1500'
 does the job.  Without the switch gawk will compile and run correctly,
 but you will get complaints about lost optimisations in builtin.c,
 awk.tab.c and regex.c.
