Well, I reported (and supplied patches for) the problems with the irix5 
port and will download and install another version once I hear these 
have been applied.

I haven't seen any comments as to whether the strange regression test
outputs are significant...

I think it's difficult to say we fully support irix6 because of the
bug in Irix ld. However, the Irix-specific FAQ does detail the
workaround for this, so I guess it's semi-supported.

p.s. Bruce, the links from the main FAQ on the Web site to the machine-
specific ones are still broken - the 'FAQ' should be in lower case.
