PostgreSQL 6.5 on Irix 6.2

I have been trying to complie PostgreSQL 6.5 on my SGI running IRIX
6.2.  I am using gcc 2.8.1.  Right in the middle of the build I get the
following error (preceding code included for clarity):

gmake[3]: Entering directory `/usr/src/pgsql/src/backend/storage/buffer'

I am not familiar enough with mips assembly to know what to do now.  Can
anyone help?
