First let's make sure your kit is complete.  Checking...
Locating common programs...
Checking compatibility between /usr/bsd/var/tmp/lang/perl5/work/.tools/bin/echo 
and builtin echo (if any)...
Symbolic links are supported.
Checking how to test for symbolic links...
You can test for symbolic links with 'test -h'.
Good, your tr supports [:lower:] and [:upper:] to convert case.
Using [:upper:] and [:lower:] to convert case.
Which of these apply, if any? [irix_6]  
Operating system name? [irix]  
Operating system version? [6.5]  
Build Perl for SOCKS? [n]  
Use the PerlIO abstraction layer? [y]  
Build a threading Perl? [y]  
Use the newer interpreter-based ithreads? [y]  
Use which C compiler? [cc]  
ERROR: [transform-mipspro-cc] Wrong ABI argument -32 for ABI 32.
You need to find a working C compiler.
Either (purchase and) install the C compiler supplied by your OS vendor,
or for a free C compiler try http://gcc.gnu.org/
I cannot continue any further, aborting.

>How-To-Repeat:

This can be worked-around by invoking 'CC="cc -n32" bmake configure' - but no 
other package requires this.

(Note that I may have altered transform-mipspro-cc to make the error message 
more intuitive: My line 44 reads:

                transform_fail "Wrong ABI argument $arg for ABI $wrapper_abi."

I believe that "$arg" was originally "$1" - but this is unset if either -32 or 
-o32 are passed to the wrapper, making the resulting error message very 
confusing).

>Fix:

Does the irix_6 rules file need updating in order not to pass '-32' (if that's 
where it comes from) or does the package Makefile need to explicitly redefine 
$CC based on the mk.conf ABI value?
