Daniel, sorry for the slow response.  The IRIX 6 box I use has been
out of action recently.

I put your patch through a gcc bootstrap (just as a basic sanity check)
and there were no problems with the -mabi=32 multilibs.  The native linker
segfaults if you try to link against a GNU-ld-generated DSO, but the same
happens before the patch as well.  Hope to look into it soon.

So this looks good from an IRIX POV.
