Yes, IIRC, IRIX 6.X cc understands -rpath.  The mipspro-specific bl3
wrappers convert from -Wl,-R to -Wl,-rpath for this reason.  If your
compiler behaves differently, then please let me know how the IRIX 5.3
MIPSpro compiler is different from the IRIX 6.x one.  In particular,
knowing the output of "cc -version" would be good, as well as how to
set the rpath when linking.  If you could provide a link to a man page
for your MIPSpro compilers, that would help immensely.

This may have been fixed recently by my curses.buildlink*.mk commits
and my changes to the www/lynx* packages.  Please try again and let
me know if this still occurs.

Looking through the source code, it looks to me that lynx uses
gettext() functions quite heavily, so linking against -lintl seems
like a requirement.  Does your IRIX provide built-in gettext() functions
int he C library or some other library distributed with your system?
