Would you please try if it works on IRIX this way:
-SpecialCObjectRule(parse,$(_NOOP_),'-DSYSTEM_INIT_FILE="'$(TWMDIR)'/system.twmrc"')
+SpecialCObjectRule(parse,$(_NOOP_),'-DSYSTEM_INIT_FILE="$(TWMDIR)/system.twmrc"')
It's not about commiting this senseless patch, of course :-)
Thank you very much!
