That's pretty wierd!  Not really familiar with IRIX, but I though it was 
standard for signal handlers to be called with an integer parameter - maybe 
they just have their protypes mixed up.  You could try explicit casting to 
make the compiler happy:

  signal(SIGTERM, ((void (*)()) UNIX_Abort_Handler);

...although no promises on whether the signal handling will behave as 
expected.
