agreed: if the number variations we observe remain in the 3-5 range, we
can continue with matching all of them.  I've installed the patch in the
meantime, so feel free to update it with the N64 variants you see on
IRIX != 6.5.30 (might even vary in patches, though).

Still can't, but am currently looking into the remaining libjava failures.

They were, but libjava on both IRIX and Tru64 UNIX didn't make use of
MD_FALLBACK_FRAME_STATE_FOR yet.  I've just fixed that, which allowed me
to get rid of another testsuite failure there.

Thanks.
