There were some changes made between Irix 3.2 and 3.3 (adding POSIX and enhancing BSD compatibility) that broke the standard SGI compile options in GNU Emacs 18.55. Several weeks ago, I posted patches to comp.sys.sgi. If you can't find the patches at an archive site (???.brl.mil, I've heard?), I can e-mail them to you. The posting also includes patches to Epoch 3.2b (an X-ified emacs, apparently being used to beta test some features for GNU Emacs v19).
