Installation problem on SGI

[John Shalf]

You'll need to edit your VTK system.make.  Where it says "USER_CFLAGS"
and "USER_CXXFLAGS", you need to add the -n32 flag to tell the compiler
to build n32 objects rather than the default o32.  If you have an R10k
processor in your O2, you should also add the -mips4 flag to take
advantage of the R10k's instruction set.

Then you need to 
	rm -f */*.a */*.o
and rebuild your vtk
	make
