I saw your report to bugs, and am offering a few comments.
`machtype`bin hasn't worked as a way to get at bin directories
since the arrival of the SGI's. Even the $bindir construction
was stretched to near-breaking by the SGI's (they set bindir to
"arch/sgi_53/bin"); and $bindir is two years into an plan to
stop supporting it.
The most robust way to find the binary directory of a locker is
to use "athdir":
`athdir /mit/cygnus bin`/gcc -o tri count.c
Another way is to make use of the locker structure supported by
all recent lockers:
/mit/cygnus/arch/$ATHENA_SYS/bin/gcc -o tri count.c
Hope this helps,
