[rescue] damn IRIX 5.3 C compiler

[Geoff Koehler]

Dan et al,

Maybe try the precompiled gcc for 5.3 on sgi's website
http://freeware.sgi.com/fw-5.3/
Its an old version, but it might compile newer gcc's.  Cant try it myself,
the R3K indigo has been retired to the shelf.  Might work.

Cheers, Geoff.
