Aha!  Another IRIX user!  Good!

Hmmm, I haven't bootstrapped on my IRIX machines in a while.  I'll have
to give it another try, but the last time around I didn't have any of
these problems.[1]

This should be fixed in the package itself.  I believe the correct way
to do this these days is to add

LDFLAGS.IRIX+=3D	-lmp

to the Makefile.

I thought I had fixed that at some point.  What revision is your
pkgsrc/lang/perl5/Makefile ?

FWIW, you could try to use the binary packages provided for IRIX 6.5
under
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/IRIX-6.5/n32/pkgsrc-2005Q2/

$ ls -d pkgsrc/*/*sup*
devel/cvsup                devel/cvsup-gui        devel/ruby-activesupport
devel/cvsup-bin            devel/cvsup-gui-bin    math/superlu
$

devel/cvsup sounds promising... ;-)

weekend...
