I built Perl v5.6.1 64bit on an O2000 running IRIX 6.5 without having
to do anything strange. However, -64 defaults to -mips4 using cc
(MIPSpro Compilers: Version 7.2.1) but
file /usr/oracle/app/oracle/product/8.1.6/lib/libclntsh.so
returns: ELF 64-bit MSB mips-3 dynamic lib MIPS - version 1
so Perl needed to be built using -64 -mips3

Check the object type of Oracle.so - it should match the type of Perl.
On my system that would be: ELF N32 MSB mips-3 dynamic lib MIPS -
version 1
I found it easier to build a 64bit Perl than get DBD::Oracle to build
using N32 because the DBD::Oracle install was determined to use the
(64bit) libraries in /usr/oracle/app/oracle/product/8.1.6/lib/ and I
haven't tried to see how I can change that.
