:the compiler chokes here and exits with error code 1.

:the machine is an SGI Indigo running IRIX 4.0.5H. 

Grab emacs-19.25 or later, which merges xemacs with emacs. That package
will build with no problem under IRIX 4.0.5A or IRIX 5.2. (Well, small
problem: if you have the FSF compilers installed then under IRIX 5.2 it
will try to use FSF's "nm" program for something or other and that program
will fail. Reconfiguring to use cc instead of gcc works fine.)
