The option to use for this is "--with-xpmdir=/usr/lib32" (assuming
that /usr/lib32/libXpm.so is in fact an n32 library).  The
--with-xpmlibname is for changing the name of the library itself.
Sometimes it is convenient to have libraries built with debugging
(e.g. libXpm-debug) or profiling information (e.g. libXpm-prof)
installed in parallel with the normal version (e.g. libXpm).

A couple other remarks:
  1) If you want to reconfigure without nuking the build area, be
     sure to delete the config.cache file, otherwise changes to
     the environment or tool changes will be ignored and the old cached
     version will be used.
    
  2) Although I think a shared build of Swarm will work under Irix 6,
     you will probably get warnings of the sort you indicated:

ld32: WARNING 85: definition of __eprintf in
/usr/local/lib/libcollections.so preempts that definition in
/usr/local/lib/libmisc.so. (many such warnings)

     You may prefer configuring with --disable-shared.
