You can get gcc to run on Irix, but it's Irix support is horrible and
it is unable to build a working version FlightGear because it
generates old style object files which can't be linked against Irix's
new style system libraries.

(Don't ask, you don't want to know.  Irix can generate about a dozen
different object file format varients, none of which are compatible
with each other.  You think mixing up debug and release libs in MSVC
is a major pain, wait until you hit irix and start trying to mix n32,
o32, n64, etc. etc.  At least don't try this with any sort of gun near
by, you might find the temptation to put a hole in your own head too
overwhelming to resist ...) :-)
