I have ported bash to the Iris.  The changes will be in 1.06, which
Brian should be releasing fairly soon.  However, the changes I made have
only been tested with the pre-release Irix 3.3, and it will definitely
require at least some changes to make it work under 3.2.

If you won't be able to get 3.3 when it ships, it shouldn't be too
difficult to make it work with 3.2.

Has anyone ported GNU's bash to the Iris WITH job control?  If so, I'd
really appreciate pointers to the source (or a binary for that
matter.)  We can get it to compile if we disable job control, but I
know that the Iris supports job control so it's frustrating to have to
go without it.

Thanks!
