The SGI CC Compiler 7.3.2.1m miscompiles xpcom/io/nsNativeCharSetUtils.cpp. 
 
When removing the -O flag from this file, mozilla works o.k. 
With -O mozilla dies deep into some call to iconv_ ...

IIRC, there's another related bug filed on IRIX. 
darin and cls, what's the right way to remove '-O' on IRIX if that's what we
have to do to fix this problem?

IRIX is out of service now"

It did not. I wouldn't take that patch anyway, since it unsets optimization for all platforms. Without someone who cares about IRIX (and I sure don't), this bug isn't going anywhere.

this patch enabled me to compile the mozilla apps for irix at all. it's great!
however it might not be needed on other platforms of course.

for the record, in case anyone actually wants to push this bug, it would be greatly appreciated if they referenced an incident number for this compiler for this bug - if there isn't a report against the compiler, file one first....

Note that there's a 7.4 compiler available....

Since there are no IRIX systems around any more, its o.k. for me to close the bug with --wont fix---
