To all those people asking for GCC binaries for IRIX:

The binaries alone aren't of much use to you.  If you don't have the
IDO (Iris Development Option, I assume), you won't have any system
header files, assembler, or linker, all of which you need to use GCC.

Personally, I consider this policy of SGI's counter-productive, but
that's the way it is.  In principle one could produce a useful
development package using GAS, the GNU linker, and GNU libc, but you
would be missing some nice features such as dynamic linking.  And I
don't think the GNU C library has been ported to SGI yet.

Hope this clarifies the situation a bit,
