 be careful here. If you do this, you will have
to configure for mips-sgi-irix5.3. GNU-as only
generates "o32" code, while gcc2.8.x and egcs
seem to generate only "n32" for IRIX-6.x. 

 It might be a good idea, though, to do a

setenv SGI_ABI "-n32"

 The n32 version will support "-g" without needing
GNU-as.
