 Best fix would be to write a fixincludes haxie to fix these headers. 
 This probibly won't be hard, but it sounds like the path of least 
 resistance will be to just rename it back to .s (since, afaik, there is 
 no actual problem with having it called .s on irix, apart from the lack 
 of consistency with the other files).
