Don't know, but you should be able to work around it, for now, by
adding _USE_RPATH=no to the command line.

1) It looks like "ncurses/buildlink3.mk" is included unconditionally,
by mistake. Try commenting that out (near the bottom of pkgsrc'
"lynx/Makefile").

2) "patch-aa" may help, except that the relevant changes are for
"netbsd" only. You might try changing the instances of "netbsd", to
"irix|netbsd". [You can't break a patch by editing it line-for-line.
You will have to run "make distinfo" to regenerate the patch
checksums, though, in order for pkgsrc to accept it.

That seems to be coming from "gettext-lib/buildlink3.mk". That
should probably be conditional on !IRIX, right by --enable-nls.

Actually... lynx-2.8.5 was released only last week. That may well
build out-of-the-box on IRIX 5 (or maybe not... all the entries in
"ChangeLog" about IRIX are about IRIX 6). In case, it doesn't seem
to be worthwhile to spend too much time on 2.8.4.
