This appears to be the persistent habit of switching from the configured
compiler version to your system default compiler/linker options  (typically,
while building objc).  For Irix, the easy cure is to configure with the
environment variable CC = 'cc -n32' or whichever option matches the default
for your environment.  Then it doesn't matter when the build switches back and
forth between system default and the option specified in the build.
