Is there any reason why you didn't use mips-sgi-irix6 configuration?
Since you want to debug on Irix 6.x, that sounds like The Right Way,
no?

As a bonus, you'd have this problem solved, because I already bumped
into it when I tried to build a native Irix 6 GDB.

The CVS version should build and work when configured as
mips-sgi-irix6, but I only tested that with n32 and -64 executables
(the latter is _known_ to be broken for now, see NEWS, but GDB never
supported -64 anyway).  So it's possible that o32 has some issues, but
I did try not to break it when I fixed n32 support on Irix 6.

You will see that this patch is already there in irix6.mh.
