For me, compilation on Irix (uname -R: 6.5 6.5.9m) fails with:

---
ld32: ERROR   33 : Unresolved text symbol "jlimit_startjob" -- 1st referenced by session.o.
        Use linker option -v to see when and which objects, archives and dsos are loaded.
ld32: INFO    152: Output file removed because of error.
---

And relating:
---
session.c:1101: warning: implicit declaration of function 'limit_startjob'
---

Apparently not all people have job limits even though they may have rather
recent systems...
