gcc is 2.95.2 from the SGI freeware site
cc, ld32 and as are MIPSpro Compilers: Version 7.2.1
rld is version 7.3 for IRIX6.5.3n32 ABI Dec 23 1998 02:12:48

I've had to install a local copy of libXpm as the IRIX one is slightly
too old.

I've compiled on a an R10k IP27 (Origin) system and run on an R5k IP32
(O2) system.  While n32 objects are usually mips3 this system has been
setup to build mips4 by default.  The libraries are a mix of mips3 and
mips4.  If it makes a different the rld version on the compiling
machine is 7.3.1.2 n32 ABI Oct 20 2000 04:05:57
