I've used ``GNU as (which isn't built ...)'' instead: I don't know if gas
builds on IRIX 6; it's disabled in binutils' toplevel configure, with this
comment:
# The GNU assembler does not support IRIX 6.
I might try sometimes if this is still true. Btw, there seems to be
ongoing work to better support the N32 and N64 ABIs in binutils, since
Linux/MIPS uses/is going to use them.

Done, thanks.
