SGI used to only ship headers/libraries with the compilers in the distant
past (i.e. IRIX 5.3, 6.[0-4] days), but they have mended their ways in the
meantime: the full IDO (including compilers if I remember correctly) for
IRIX 5.3 and the IDF/IDL (i.e. headers and libraries for 6.2 - 6.4) have
been available for free download for some time
http://www.sgi.com/developers/devtools/apis/irix.html
and have been included with 6.5 from the beginning.
