Yeah, that bit about salt in the wound was a joke :)
Anyway, thanks for those files, it helped a lot. Most interesting to be
was that you insn-attrtab.c for stage1 and stage2/stage3 are different
(but obviously stage2/stage3 are the same). unfortunately, my
stage2/stage3 do not match yours at all.
As for gnu-ld, I've actually had better luck getting gnu-ld working with
gcc for most things then the system ld (gnu-ld <2.17 was broken, but 2.18
and up seem to work well.
the build takes me about 48 hours before it chokes; probably another 12
would give me a full build.

More like, don't give up it does work.
I care about GCC on IRIX. Since you seemed to think there was a problem I
wanted to look for myself.
Also the build took nearly 48hours on my I2 R10K/195 and since you said
you're using an Indy I know it takes even longer for you.
Yeah, I gave up on getting gmp, mpfr, mpc, cloog, and ppl to build in
tree.. it doesn't seem that anyone has even tested that code. Even with
binutils, I need to do a couple of symlinks to get it to work (gas, ld, and
binutils/bfd, binutils/opcodes).
If you're using GNU ld then that is a likely source of problems. It does not
work well on IRIX and it's strongly recommended to use the IRIX linker when
building gcc.
Regarding in-tree builds I build gcc 4.6 snapshots on Solaris 8 using in-tree
gmp, mpfr and mpc and this works fine, so it's not a general problem. ppl and
cloog may be another story but they don't build without alot of pain on
Solaris so I haven't tested with those.
That being said, could you put up a tar file of your insn-*.c files
somewhere?

A full buildlog is here:

What's odd is that I got these compile errors using MIPSPro C compilers
also, which is why I backed down to gcc4.2.4 for my initial build.
That sounds very odd indeed.
I normally never bootstrap with MIPSpro though since I always build the Ada
compiler which requires gnat.
Perhaps you could give some more details, like how you're configuring gcc and
perhaps a buildlog?
