Fold README.IRIX5.3 into the IRIX README; we don't have multiple
READMEs per OS, and it's clutter, especially given the information is
from 2006.

Add last-updated dates (2005/2006) as a clue.

+# IRIX 5.3 (last updated 2006)
+
+Installing pkgsrc on IRIX 5.3 requires some preparation.
+First, if necessary, get the IRIX 5.3 IDO (cc etc.) from SGI at
+ftp://ftp.sgi.com/sgi/IRIX5.3/iris-development-option-5.3.tardist and
+install it using IRIX's Software Manager. While you're at it you might also
+want to install any missing patches from ftp://ftp.sgi.com/support/Patches/5.3.
+Get ftp://ftp.mayn.de/pub/really_old_stuff/irix/ido/dev* and install the
+missing dev.sw.abi and dev.sw.irix_speclibs subpackages.
+Note that IRIX 5.3's ftp does not support passive ftp (to my knowledge), so
+if you are behind a firewall (and you better make sure you are with IRIX
+5.3!) you might need to first transfer the files to another local machine.
+Furthermore, get Y2k patches from e.g.
+ftp://ftp.mayn.de/pub/really_old_stuff/irix/oldstuff/ if you haven't
+installed them already.
+
+Unfortunately many of IRIX 5.3's native tools do not provide
+functionalitites that pkgsrc expects. It is therefore necessary to install
+the respective GNU tools for cp, grep, id, mkdir, test, touch, which,
+and xargs. To avoid conflicts you might want to do so under a different
+directory hierarchy than pkgsrc (in the following example /usr/local is
+assumed). Obtain and install the following GNU software:
+- GNU findutils (4.2.23 is known to install)
+- GNU grep (2.5.1a works, but you have to apply the patch from
+pkgsrc/textproc/grep/patches/patch-ab; either do so manually by editing the
+appropriate source file or first install GNU patch [2.5.4 works fine]. This
+will probably be fixed with later releases. You should configure GNU grep
+with --disable-nls and do not bother when make stops when it cannot find
+makeinfo; just proceed with make install)
+- GNU coreutils (5.97 works; be sure to specify GREP=/sbin/grep for
+configure)
+- GNU which (2.16 works; be sure to configure with CC="cc -Xcpluscomm")
+
+To date, pkgsrc expects the SGI IDO cc and might run into problems when
+using gcc.
+With IDO cc and the necessary supporting tools and development files
+installed you can run bootstrap to create the essential pkgsrc tools,
+notably bmake:
+
+env CP=/usr/local/bin/cp GREP=/usr/local/bin/grep ID=/usr/local/bin/id MKDIR="/usr/local/bin/mkdir -p" TEST=/usr/local/bin/test TOUCH=/usr/local/bin/touch XARGS="/usr/local/bin/xargs -r" ./bootstrap
+
+Add the necessary arguments such as --prefix= as necessary.
+You might also want to set the CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS, or LDFLAGS.
+For the IDO cc CFLAGS=-O2 (or CFLAGS="-O2 -mips2" if you are using an R4K
+machine) is recommended.
+
+IRIX 5.3 IDO does not come with a C++ compiler. For packages that require
+C++ you can get the GNU C++ compiler, g++, which is part of the gcc
+distribution. Gcc 3.4.6 is known to bootstrap on IRIX 5.3. To activate it,
+add the following lines to your mk.conf after bootstrapping:
+
+CXX=g++
+USE_TOOLS+=cxx
+TOOLS_PLATFORM.cxx=/usr/local/bin/g++
+TOOLS_CMD.cxx=${TOOLS_DIR}/bin/g++
