not really: I've just tried to build emacs 24.2.92 and see similar
successes and failures as with 24.0.90:

* building with gcc 3.1 and MIPSpro 7.4.4m cc produces a working emacs

* building with gcc 3.4 or 4.6 yields the same error as before.

I suppose I'll be content with having a gcc 3.1-built emacs 24.3 if need
be.  Given that gcc 4.7 was the last release to support IRIX 6.5, I've
not much time for IRIX issues left.
