LYNX-DEV Problem with sgi text/html recognition

[Carl Buxbaum]

This is a followup to a problem that we were having accessing

   http://www.imdb.com

where there is a script that checks your language preference.  The
language preference was not being recognized from our newly installed
lynx2-6, and our lynx client was reporting that it was incapable of
handling text/html.

The solution to this problem turned out to be to add the flag "-cckr"
to WWW/Library/sgi/Makefile  compiler options, to match the came
compiler option in the top level directory.  Other things that fixed
this were to remove the "-cckr" flag from both makefiles or use gcc
rather than sgi's compiler.  I'm not sure what side effects either of
these actions would produce.

Here's the Makefile as we have it (it includes the flags -O2 and
-mips2 which we try to use in all our source, but I determined that
neither of these flags was causing the problem initially):
