Just my guess. I failed to build MySQL over and over again and started
looking for the reason. What I found, was that my libstdc++.a comprised
only "ELF 32-bit MSB mips-2" object files. The original configure script
within gcc/libstdc++ finds out the ABI based on the output
of /usr/bin/file. After comparing GNU file and IRIX file output, I
thought I found the reason. But maybe I'm wrong and have to start
searching again :-(
