Why does SGI not do something on this itself? We also are forced to
use IRIX 5.1 and are very dissapointed that it is so badly supported
(by GNU tools that is). Other companies have in the past actively
worked on getting GCC etc. to work on their platforms.

And I understand this customer very well. Who wants to use different
tools and debuggers on all the different platforms. Especially SGI
alas has the tendency to deviate from the standard and add own
enhancements (which I see as a serious drawback).
