Given that a C-only bootstrap with SGI's MIPSpro cc succeeded some time
ago, I thought so myself. On 20051130 I tried another mainline bootstrap
with gcc after upgrading to MIPSpro 7.4.4m (with the latest SGI ld), but
that failed in the same way as I'd originally reported.
I'll have to retry this now and also try again with a newer GNU as used
both by the bootstrap compiler and the freshly built compiler. This may
take time, though, since recently my time devoted to GCC testing has been
rather limited and the only machine running with latest IRIX and compilers
isn't too fast (I may accquire another one in the not too far future,
though.)
