I've downloaded the binaries built by Tgcware (https://jupiterrise.com/tgcware/irix5.3/stable/) for GCC, binutils, glibc, make, automake and so forth but I continue to have some issues when I start the ./configure stage of the process. I typically get an error from config.log which reads,
Object file format error in: /usr/tgcware/gcc45/lib/gcc/mips-sgi-irix5.3/4.5.3/irix-crti.o: bad symbolic header (magic number)

It's calling ld from,
/usr/bin/../lib/ld
This indicates you're missing the linker patch:
Patch SG0001068: Replacement for patch 410 new linker for 5.3
It is a pre-requisite for tgcware.
You can find links to IRIX 5.3 patch clusters which include the linker
