This shows pretty clearly that it's a problem in the SGI linker.

I think there are different versions of the linker on SGI Irix 5.3,
because locally here I've never had this problem on 5.3 before, but
now it's appeared on *one* of the servers, where they probably
have installed a new version.  I have compiled GCC on that machine
before but now it's suddenly started failing with the above error
message.  Also, building shared libraries now fail with the same
error.

On another machine where I'm pretty sure that things work OK ld
just says:

$ ld -V
/usr/lib/ld version 3.19
Error: No object file linked.

So, there seems to be two different versions of 3.19, judging by the
messages, which doesn't surprise me the least - SGI never have been
very good at keeping their versions straight.

Complain to your SGI rep.
