Please take steps to make any lockers you maintain support the new
sgi_65 system type. Possible approaches are:
* Make a symlink under arch from sgi_65 to some older SGI
system type like sgi_63. If you do this, binaries rebuilt
under IRIX 6.5 will probably start to break on the older
system type. Old IRIX machines don't tend to stick around
as long as old Suns, but this is still somewhat bogus.
* Make a symlink farm under arch/sgi_65/bin pointing to the
binaries from an older SGI system type. When binaries are
rebuilt on an IRIX 6.5 machine, replace the symlinks with
actual files.
* Rebuild the entire locker under IRIX 6.5, creating an
entirely new arch/sgi_65 directory.
