Description:
Both MySql version failed to build on the IRIX platform when  enable --with-ndbcluster on the configure. Its the latest MIPS CC 7.4.3

ld32: FATAL   9  : I/O error (gcc.o): No such file or directory
gmake[3]: *** [ndb_drop_index] Fehler 2
gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/raids/strip2/MIPS/mysql-4.1.12/ndb/tools'

gmake[1]: *** [all-recursive] Fehler 1
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/raids/strip2/MIPS/mysql-4.1.12'

The difference between both builds are that for the mysql4  the gmake runs to the end without after starting  gmake  again.  The mysql5 stops with some unresolved symbols.

ld32: FATAL   11 : Object file format error (gcc.o): file is empty.
gmake[3]: *** [ndb_show_tables] Fehler 2

gmake

gmake[5]: *** [testBackup] Fehler 2
gmake[5]: Leaving directory `/raids/strip2/MIPS/mysql-5.0.7-beta/ndb/test/ndbapi'

Without all the --with-ndb* both builds wents fine.

How to repeat:
./configure --prefix=/usr/nekoware/mysql5  --with-extra-charsets=complex --enable-thread-safe-client --with-unix-socket-path=/usr/nekoware/var/run/mysql5/mysql.sock --without-extra-tools --disable-dependency-tracking --without-debug --sysconfdir=/usr/nekoware/etc/mysql5 --without-readline --with-big-tables --with-openssl=/usr/nekoware --with-ndbcluster --with-mysqlmanager --with-zlib-dir=/usr/nekoware --with-ndb-test

gmake -j

According to the manual (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/mysql-binaries.html) standard binaries are compiled for IRIX using the following options:

CC=gcc CFLAGS="-O3 -fno-omit-frame-pointer" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -fno-omit-frame-pointer -felide-constructors -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti"

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql --with-extra-charsets=complex --enable-thread-safe-client --enable-local-infile --disable-shared

:)

I'll try to compile 4.1.14 sources on octane2 with your configure options. By the way, it is:

-bash-2.05b$ cc -version
MIPSpro Compilers: Version 7.41
-bash-2.05b$ uname -Ra
IRIX64 octane2 6.5 6.5.25m 07080050 IP30

I bet my 32 way origin that you havent use this FLAGS that shown above with 'your' compiler ;)
The mips cc dont understand GCC flags in general. Maybe you have used the GCC compiler which is installed under /usr/freeware/bin/gcc -v on your machine. 

So just add the missing configure options to the BUILD/compile-irix-mips64-mipspro  script script and tell me if it compiles or not.

Coming back to the error message it looks like that something gcc related is expectet?

Tried to rpeat on octane2, but stopped by not enough resources:

-bash-2.05b$ swap -l

./configure --prefix=$HOME/mysql414 --with-extra-charsets=complex --enable-thread-safe-client --with-unix-socket-path=$HOME/mysql414.sock --without-extra-tools --disable-dependency-tracking --without-debug --sysconfdir=$HOME/mysql414 --without-readline --with-big-tables --with-ndbcluster --with-mysqlmanager --with-ndb-test 

gave me:

When I deleted --with-ndb-test option and included --with-readline, it was much better, and there were not enough resources for linking. I'll try tomorrow, but looks like it is --with-ndb-test that causing real problems...

Be carefull youre using the wrong compiler. Setup the environment first like shown in your ./BUILD/compile-irix-mips64-mipspro script.

Youre right about the '--with-ndb-test' switch. Without that it reduce the problems :). About the missing lreadline keep in mind that IRIX dont come with that lib. Maybe someone could take a look into the configure check for libreadline when a user choose the '--without-readline' switch. And when we already talking about the configure someone can remove the '--sysconfdir' switch because the path is hardcoded in the source and cant modify this way.
Back to the problem i can say it compile mysql 4.1.14 with that environment and configure.

./configure --with-extra-charsets=complex --enable-thread-safe-client --with-unix-socket-path=/usr/nekoware/var/run/mysql5/mysql.sock --without-extra-tools --disable-dependency-tracking --without-debug --sysconfdir=/usr/nekoware/etc/mysql5 --without-readline --with-big-tables --with-openssl=/usr/nekoware --with-ndbcluster --with-mysqlmanager --with-zlib-dir=/usr/nekoware --without-ndb-debug --prefix=/usr/nekoware/mysql4 ; gmake -j 30

When it stops about the missing gcc.o i try to compile ndb again.
cd ndb
gmake clean; runon 8 gmake
cd ..; gmake -j

Than it compiles to the end. 

My current environment looks like
[o2k]:/usr2/MIPS/mysql-4.1.14 $ env | grep FLAG
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/nekoware/lib
CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/nekoware/include
CXXFLAGS=-c99 -O3 -mips4 -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/usr/nekoware/lib -I/usr/nekoware/include -OPT:Olimit=0:roundoff=3  -TARG:platform=IP27:proc=r10000 -LANG:exceptions=OFF -LANG:std=OFF -LANG:libc_in_namespace_std=OFF

I think, we provided enough information for people to check the build process on IRIX.

In addition, vanilla (unmodified) BUILD/compile-irix-mips64-mipspro from 4.1.14, with the default configure options, simply gave me the following bug on our machine:

        rm -f libedit.a

-bash-2.05b$ uname -a

So, build process for IRIX from sources surely need some attention. That is why I changed the description also.

Try to use:

CC=cc CXX=CC CFLAGS="-O3 -c99 -OPT:Olimit=0" CXXFLAGS="-O3  -c99 -OPT:Olimit=0 -LANG:exceptions=OFF -LANG:std=ON -LANG:libc_in_namespace_std=OFF"  ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql --localstatedir=/usr/local/mysql/data --libexecdir=/usr/local/mysql/bin --with-comment="MySQL Community Edition - Experimental (GPL)" --with-extra-charsets=complex --with-server-suffix="-max" --enable-thread-safe-client --enable-local-infile  --disable-shared --with-big-tables --with-readline --with-archive-storage-engine --with-blackhole-storage-engine --with-ndbcluster --with-csv-storage-engine --with-example-storage-engine --with-federated-storage-engine --with-innodb

on 4.1.14

(see http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=11836 for details)

Actually, IRIX is not a supported platform any more (see http://www.mysql.com/support/supportedplatforms/enterprise.html).
