1.1) What do I need to install PostgreSQL on IRIX?
PostgreSQL 7.2 has been run on MIPS r8000, r10000(both ip25 and ip27)
PostgreSQL has been run on MIPS r8000, r10000(both ip25 and ip27)
and r12000(ip35) processors, running IRIX 6.5.5m, 6.5.12 and 6.5.13 with
MIPSPro compilers version 7.30, 7.3.1.2m and 7.3.
MIPSPro compilers version 7.30, 7.3.1.2m and 7.3. Newer versions can
be expected to work too (but see compiler note below).
Aside from the PostgreSQL source distribution, you will need GNU make
(SGI's make will not do), and the MIPSPro full ANSI C compiler.

It is known that version 7.4.1m of the MIPSPro compiler generates
incorrect code. (Symptom is "invalid primary checkpoint record"
when trying to start the database.) Version 7.4.4m is OK; the status
of intermediate versions is uncertain.
1.2) Anything special about the build/install procedure?
