Strange, just checked with my O2: no problems. My system is patched with
the December '98 patch set and I use the SGI MipsPRO 7.1 C compiler. Looks
to me like your system is not correctly installed, or you're mixing up o32
and n32 binaries. Try:

  setenv CC "cc -n32"
  ./configure --with-threads=posix mips-sgi-irix6.3

Or:

  setenv CC cc
  setenv SGI_ABI -n32
  ./configure --with-threads=posix mips-sgi-irix6.3

What happens if you try to compile with a sufficiently new gcc (= gcc 2.8.1 or a
recebnt egcs)?

Yes, but are the header files that are included by them, too? If one of
them is missing, the configure check may fail.
