pkgsrc IRIX 6.5/mipseb bulk build results 20070221.1404

[Roland Illig <rillig%NetBSD.org@localhost>]

This is my first bulk build on IRIX with MIPSpro, and I have interrupted 
it from time to time to fix some basic packages. I also changed the 
compiler flags and other parts of the pkgsrc infrastructure during this 
build, so it may be a little inconsistent. I wanted to crack the 3000 
packages limit, but failed. Most breakage is due to the small maximum 
size of the command line (gtk2, qt3-libs), and xpm failed because I 
couldn't tell imake to generate 64-bit Makefiles.

My experience is that the MIPSpro compiler is a great thing, and we 
should exploit its features much more to raise the quality of the pkgsrc 
packages.
