[ID 20010730.003] IRIX 6.5 already has struct sv in <sys/sema.h>(defined in perl.h)

This is a bug report for perl from stian@nimsoft.no,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.33 running under perl v5.6.1.

SGI IRIX 6.5 already has a struct sv defined in <sys/sema.h>. To be able
to compile my own libraries I had to patch perl.h line 1491 from
#ifdef UTS
to 
#if defined(UTS) || defined(SGI)

This defines STRUCT_SV as perl_sv instead of sv which causes a namespace
conflict when using system libraries to compile a perllib.

You might want to use another symbol, but SGI came to mind and worked
for me at least...
