IIUC, this is a failure to define the "sockaddr_in6" structure.
This is odd, because it is allegedly

http://techpubs.sgi.com/library/tpl/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?coll=0650&db=bks&srch=&fname=/SGI_Developer/IRIX_NetPG/sgi_html/ch03.html

defined in netinet/in.h, which process.c includes.

Can you find which .h file defines it on that system?
Or send netinet/in.h?

This is not a big deal, because we have had persistent problems with
SGI IRIX (eg http://debbugs.gnu.org/9684), and have dropped support for
it in Emacs 24.5.


In fact I see this looks like the same issue as http://debbugs.gnu.org/7643,
which you reported but never followed up to
I suggested something to try in

http://debbugs.gnu.org/7643#24
