Description

[Jim Dunn]

This is a high level 'tracking' bug that should only be used as a
place to attach blocking SGI/IRIX bugs against.

Making the subject more explicit as Irix builds have been up and running for
months using the MIPSpro compiler.

[John Vandenberg]

Having applied the patches for bug 21308 and bug 79282, and using the 
workaround for bug 28711 and bug 28717, I have been able to build mozilla using 
fw_gcc (2.95.2).  However it would not suprise anyone that the binary does not 
quite work.

Applying the new patches for bug 79362 , and mozilla now builds on IRIX using 
gcc, and works!

Comment 6

[John Vandenberg]

All bugs now have patches, which when applied allow gcc to build mozilla 
without assistance.

Comment 7

[John Vandenberg]

I believe this can now be closed.  Thanks to all who helped.
