Fix IRIX/MIPSpro build errors
Workaround for a quirk in the MIPSpro compilers. Could someone quickly sanity-check the patch to ensure that I've not inadvertently changed the sense of either problematic statement?

We lack the man-power and devotion to support mips-irix in the tree. |
Without modification, gam-server fails with errors such as: cc-3316 cc: ERROR File = gam_connection.c, Line = 524 The expression must be a pointer to a complete object type. memmove(&conn->request, (void *)req + req->len, conn->request_len); ^ 1 error detected in the compilation of "gam_connection.c". ... in various files. And yes, this is a quirk of the MIPSpro compilers :( Patch coming up...
