Not really: you will only see more testsuite failures on older releases. I don't think it's feasible to differentiate between IRIX micro releases inside the code (except for the fact that configure tests already test for feature availability individually).

Thank you for clarifying this.
And I agree there is no need to differentiate between minor releases in the code.


that's the case should the target specific notes not be amended
accordingly?

They already state:


It is @emph{strongly} recommended to upgrade to at least IRIX 6.5.18.
This release introduced full ISO C99 support, though for the N32 and N64
ABIs only.

Yes, current text is fine in light of the above.
