hi,

i was trying to compile irssi  (irssi-0.8.6.CVS) on Irix 6.5.16m using 
Mipspro 7.3 last night and came accross a little sticking point. 


network.c
cc-1101 cc: ERROR File = network.c, Line = 30
  "sockaddr_union" has already been declared in the current scope.

  union sockaddr_union {


i checked on the net for the error to see if there was an obvious fix 
for it (i am relatively new to Irix and Mipspro) and found mention of 
it in a cvs entry for the Silc projects use of irssi. 

i checked if this error had been fixed in the  irssi-latest.tar.gz and 
then in the latest CVS and it had not. i can only assume the Silc 
developers did not feed this fix back to irssi. 

therefore i made this patch against the latest CVS. 

again, i am new to all this, put this patch does allow irssi to compile 
happily on Irix 6.5.x under Mipspro 7.3. (and possibly other versions). 
please let me know if i have submitted this incorrectly as there seems 
to only be information on submitting crash-type bug reports on the 
website. 

thanks,
