This is not a gcj problem.  You'd probably get better results
reporting this to the main list or via bugzilla.

In 3.1, Irix 6.5 was reported as working, but the port was disabled by
default due to "tricks required to get it to build".  I don't remember
what these were, but they were posted to this list; you should be able
to find more information in the archives.  If it worked once, it
shouldn't be too hard to make it work again.
