It's been around for a while.

I did some poking around and it looks to me like it became broken on
Dec 31, 1998.  I haven't actually built the version prior to this
date, but I've examined the code and it looks okay.

They say that many things became broken on that infamous date...
(I'll leave it to one of the old timers to explain further.)

Subject: igen won't run on Solaris-based Canadian crosses

There's something in Solaris' getopt() that prevents igen from running
with it.  If host == build, this problem doesn't show up because
libiberty's getopt is linked in, but on Canadian crosses, libiberty
isn't linked in since it's compiled for the host, while igen must run
on the build machine.

This patch arranges for getopt to be compiled and linked into igen
when appropriate.  Ok to install?
