: Is there are version of gcc which will compile and run on IRIX 5.0.1?

I was just about to ask the same question.  On our Irix 5.0.1 system I
configured GCC 2.4.5 with

    configure --target=mips-sgi

It handles that OK, then I tried

    make LANGUAGES=c

It grinds away for a while, then crashes like this:

        ./xgcc -B./ -dumpspecs > specs
        echo "__foo () {}" > dummy.c
        ./xgcc -B./  -DIN_GCC   -g -c dummy.c
    mips-tfile:/var/tmp/cca002vx.s symbolic header wrong size (0 bytes, should be 96)
    *** Error code 1 (bu21)

    make: fatal error.

This version of Irix seems kind of svr4ish, so I tried 

    configure --target=mips-sgi-svr4

But it failed the same way.

The GCC README says what to do for Irix 4.0.1 (make sure c.hdr.lib is
installed).  I just talked to the guy who installed the ststem I am
trying this on and he says they installed everything.  There is no
c.hdr.lib in the output of `versions', could it be he is mistaken?  The
following is some of what is installed:
