You must not use GAS on irix6 platforms; doing so will only cause
problems.
Is the prohibition in the docs still correct?
yes.
If so, does anyone recall the specific problem; it might be
worth it to me to fix it.
GNU as hasn't been ported to Irix6 yet. This involves adding support for
new assembler syntax, new command line options, new object file formats, etc.
There is a lot of stuff that is different at the assembler level (from Irix5),
and there is a non-trivial amount of work needed to fix this.
