On Tru64 I usually use a configure line of

    env CFLAGS='-D__FUNCTION__=__func__ -D__PRETTY_FUNCTION=__func__' \
	CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include \
	LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib \
	./configure

I've just scanned the SGI manual pages and developer's
documentation... It looks like there is no equivalent for the IRIX C
compiler.  Your best bet is probably to use a configure line similar
to above, but using "unknown_function_name" (with some list of
backslashes to escape the quotes).
