I've been able to build gcc-3.2.3 on irix6.2 and irix6.5.  The only
special thing I've had to do is "setenv CONFIG_SHELL /bin/ksh" (or
setenv CONFIG_SHELL /your_path_to/bash) before running configure and
"make bootstrap".  Without this setting, sometimes you'll get a crash
building libstdc++ because /bin/sh is buggy, I don't know if this is
the same problem you're seeing, but give it a try.
