I can at least try...

I fear that's exactly the problem: IPv6 support was only added in a
later update of IRIX 6.5 (don't recall exactly which one), so without
knowing what Nelson is (was) running, it's hard to tell.  Maybe emacs
assumes IPv6 support unconditionally (or the test was insufficient)?

I did have various problems building 23.3 on 6.5.30 myself, but nothing
related to IPv6.  I didn't try with cc, though.
