Hi,

using GCC lang/perl5 does not compile for me on IRIX64 6.5. I
think the following fragment from lang/perl5/Makefile should be
removed:

.if ${OPSYS} == "IRIX"
.  if ${ABI} == "64"
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=	-Dcc=${CC:Q}" -64" -Duse64bitint
.  else
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=	-Dcc=${CC:Q}" -n32"
.  endif
.endif

mk/compiler/gcc.mk and mk/compiler/mipspro.mk already take
care of this. With GCC the above fragment will break the
build because -64 is clearly not understood.

The build won't succeed though because Configure thinks it
knows more about IRIX and apparently fails to identify GCC
in the hints/irix_6.sh because it refers to "$cc" which
apparently is not "gcc" but "cc" (but still GCC) here. It
should refer to "$gccversion" instead. I've fixed the latter
with the sledgehammer but it still breaks later.

Anyway, any objections if I removed the above fragment for
a start?
