Well, actually he didn't provide some needed information.  In order to build
egcs snapshots or g77 on Irix 4, I found it necessary to install gnu make and
use a current Irix cc (version 7.2) to bootstrap, with CC='cc -n32'.  Neither
Irix make nor cc version 7.1 will work.  I don't know whether a gcc binary
from e.g. reality.sgi.com would solve the problem if you are stuck with a
buggy version of Irix C.  egcs clearly has had the benefit of testing on
various Irix systems, and it performs reasonably well on R10K.
