IRIX 6.5.26m here, with the same compiler.

I was quite surprised too, but __sgi is necessary here.

They do, but when I was looking for a macro to define to get the
additional declarations, _BSD_TYPES was the first one I found.
_SGI_SOURCE, _SGIAPI and even _BSD_COMPAT appear to work equally well.

I believe we're using bash. At least our environment has
SHELL=/opt/fsw/bash32/bin/bash and we call configure with '${SHELL}
./configure ...' and gmake with 'make SHELL=${SHELL}'. But I suppose
it's possible that if t/Makefile ignores those settings and the tests
begin with '#!/bin/sh', then perhaps they are using Korn shell?
Thanks, yes, I'll be interested to see your patch... but shouldn't we
try to fix git in the repo so that it respects the SHELL environment
and make setting?

And similarly, shouldn't these settings be fed back upstream for the
benefit of other IRIX users of git?
