dp,

Call the hotline (800.800.4SGI) give them your serial number and ask for the
patches on 4mm DAT tape. By default programs are compiled o32 you can choose
n32 or n64 by adding -n32 or -n64 to the compile line. The patches should have
support for o32 n32 and n64 if it is applicable. As far as being able to tell
whether an application is o32 n32 or n64 try `file "executable"' if its mips-2
its o32 if its mips-3 its n32 if its mips-4 its n64.

i.e
file perfly
perfly: ELF 32-bit MSB mips-2 dynamic executable MIPS - version 1

This is an o32 application.

If you are using Makefiles which are shipped with Performer you can use these
conventions to build the kind of executable you want. Excerpt form Performer

       respectively. The symbol PFSTYLE can be defined with one of
       the three values "32", "N32", or "64" to select one of the
       three (O32, N32, N64) architecture and calling convention
       choices described in Chapter 2 of these release notes. The
       make targets for the different versions of the libraries or
