But if nobody tries to use SGI cc or make (actually, cc, 
in the past has had _less_ reported problems than GCC on IRIX), 
is 1.2 supposed to be stable on IRIX?

GTK+ is supposed to work without gmake and has worked OK
with other makes in the past. Most of the core GTK+ 
developers don't personally have access to SGI boxes,
so we rely on other people to figure out what is happening
in these sorts of situations and submit patches.
