I built the mips-sgi-irix5 configuration on IRIX 6 last year, which is
necessary if you want to get O32 ABI support. It worked after working
around a gas problem (acked, but not yet checked into binutils). There
were a couple of problems in exception handling, which I believe have been
fixed since. I didn't have time to work on gcc recently, but hope to
revive this configuration at some time (or even to complete older patches
of mine to integrate O32 support into the IRIX 6 config).

But the IRIX 5 configuration *is* an ELF target, it only doesn't use DWARF 2
but stabs (or mdebug if someone would lift the support from the
alpha-dec-osf config).
