May be you can try with an old GNAT (GNU Ada compiler) binary, since
GNAT binary releases always have a working C front-end (able to
bootstrap "c ada"), URL:
<ftp://cs.nyu.edu/pub/gnat/private/old/gnat-3.10p-mips-sgi-irix5.3-bin.tar.gz>
I don't remember what GCC version GNAT 3.10p was based upon (may be
2.7.3 or 2.8.1), but I believe it should be able to compile most of
the GNU packages without trouble.
Start with GNU make, then everything else should work fine. May be
textutils should come second since most proprietary UNIX text tools
are complete crap, AIX grep with its 2048 line length limit comes to
mind ;-).
I don't know if there are known compilation issues on MIPS between the
current GCC and older versions (2.7.x and 2.8.x).
Hope this helps,
