Still a challenge: pkgsrc on IRIX 6.5

[Timo Schoeler <wanker4freedom%web.de@localhost>]

hi,

again i'm fiddling around with pkgsrc on sgi IRIX (my first mail on  
this topic was on March 3rd, [1]).

a short note on my environment:

IRIX 6.5.25m and gcc, make, binutils etc. installed from  
freeware.sgi.com

when trying to use pkgsrc, i run into several 'phenomena'...

to make sure gcc runs fine, i built OpenSSL and OpenSSH 4 just for fun  
on this machine -- runs well :)

next, i checked out pkgsrc and bootstrapped it; yes, bootstrapping  
_works_.

as soon as i try to compile a package, i got a message that the  
compiler cannot build executables... aha. that's new to me :D

as the recommendation says, i had a look into .work.log of the package  
that failed:

[*] /usr/pkgsrc/devel/patch/work/.wrapper/bin/cc -o conftest -O2  
-Wl,-R/usr/pkg/lib -L/usr/pkg/lib conftest.c

<.> /usr/bin/cc -o conftest -O2 -Wl,-R/usr/pkg/lib -L/usr/pkg/lib  
conftest.c -mabi=n32

hm, nothing special in here...?

-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----

to give the big picture:

O2 200# cat /etc/compiler.defaults
-DEFAULT:abi=n32:isa=mips4:proc=r10k

-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----

my mk.conf is nearly as bootstrapping built it:

.ifdef BSD_PKG_MK       # begin pkgsrc settings

OPSYS=IRIX
ABI=32
PKG_DBDIR=/var/db/pkg
LOCALBASE=/usr/pkg
FETCH_CMD=/usr/pkg/bin/ftp
PAX=/usr/pkg/bin/pax
SED=/usr/pkg/bin/nbsed
IMAKEOPTS+=-DBuildN32 -DSgiISA32=4

GCC_REQD=3.4

.endif                  # end pkgsrc settings

-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----

(note: GCC_REQD=3.4 was set because pkgsrc wants to build it's own gcc  
-- well, i don't mind that, but please don't build 2.95, please take  
3.4 ;)

any hints how to get this runnning smoothly are _very_ appreciated.  
thanks in advance!
