Ned Deily added the comment:

Without having reviewed the proposed change in detail, a couple of comments.  
On current OS X systems and others, the compiler could be clang which perhaps 
should be treated as gcc for most autoconf purposes.  Also, why are we putting 
any effort into supporting IRIX anymore?  Both IRIX and the MIPS processor 
lines it runs on was retired by SGI in 2007.  That's why support for IRIX was 
pulled from Python 3.  It's a dead end.
