Does Irix's CC have Objective C support? That's what it's trying to do
here.

I think installing GNU binutils (and then rebuilding gcc so it uses them
instead of the IRIX equivalents) should do the trick. I'm guessing that
the Irix CC doesn't have ObjC support, and obviously Irix's ld doesn't
want to take output from gcc, so...
