I take it the IRIX host was 64-bit? The 3.0 branch does not build on
32-bit platforms out of the box (just tested). See:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2000-11/msg00893.html
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2000-11/msg00914.html
On IRIX 6.5 CVS compiles. However, on IRIX 6.2, it dies with the
following:
Bootstrap comparison failure!
c-convert.o differs
collect2.o differs

This is with the IRIX C compiler:
