We had a problem moving our serial driver code from an Indigo2 with
Irix 6.2 to an Octane with 6.4. The termio and termios structures have
changed between the two Irixes. See the man page for termio on the 6.4
machine. "Existing binaries automatically use the old interfaces." If
you want to compile and run under 6.4 you can either make a minor code
change or define a compile time flag.
