Hi,
I haven't got access to an IRIX box locally at the moment to test
this, but using a 5.3 gcc-2.7.2 build on a machine running 6.x is
likely to be problematic.
When installed, gcc will fix up some of the OS supplied header files
to bring them into the right `shape', installing the copies inside
$(libexecdir)/gcc-lib/..... These header files are *not*
self-contained, but refer to std OS header files
(cf. unistd.h's use of /usr/include/sgidefs.h above)
In your case, the fixed up 5.3 files include 6.x header files, with
fatal consequences. I'm not aware of any patches that will allow you
to use a 5.3 build under 6.x, but a binary dist of gcc-2.7.2.2 for
irix6 is available from
http://reality.sgi.com/ariel/freeware/
Another distribution that I know has worked in conjunction with ghc
is Thomasz Cholewo's irix6.2 gcc-2.7.2.1 tarball, see
