[RFA/RFC/testsuite] deactivate bigcore on IRIX

This is on mips-irix 6.5.

This test regularly causes some random failures due to memory
exhaustion. Sometimes it's the testsuite itself that fails.
Sometimes I see some of my jobs abort for lack of memory (and
I hope it didn't cause the death of any system process).

I suggest we deactivate this test on IRIX.

	* gdb.base/bigcore.exp: Deactivate on IRIX targets.

Tested on mips-irix (test not run) and on x86-linux (test run with
unchanged results).

OK to apply?

You have a typo on 'stresful' [sic].

It's okay with me, but Andrew might want to talk about this.

Approved after 24 hours if you fix the typo and if Andrew has
no objection.
