This is an IRIX 6.5.15m  system.

cc tries to link a bunch of .o's using the following line:

cc -r10000 -mips4 -O3 -OPT:IEEE_arithmetic=3 -OPT:rsqrt=ON -SWP:loop_overhead -I
NLINE:=ON -LNO:opt=1 -LNO:ou_further=3 -OPT:Olimit=0:roundoff=3:alias=typed -wof
f 1174 -D__INLINE_INTRINSICS -r10000 -mips4 -woff 84 -o pdb2gmx hizzie.o xlate.o
 specbond.o ter_db.o h_db.o genhydro.o pdb2top.o gen_ad.o gen_dum.o pgutil.o res
all.o hackblock.o add_par.o topexcl.o toputil.o topdirs.o pdb2gmx.o  -L/usr/loca
l/lib ../mdlib/.libs/libmd.a -L/usr/lib32/mips4/r10000 -L/usr/lib32/mips4 -L/usr
/lib32 ../gmxlib/.libs/libgmx.a -lnsl /usr/local/lib/librfftw.a /usr/local/lib/l
ibfftw.a -lXm -lXt -lSM -lICE -lXext -lX11 -lftn -lm

ld32 starts to complain now:

ld32: WARNING 85: definition of main in pdb2gmx.o preempts that definition
in /usr/lib32/mips4/libftn.so.
ld32: WARNING 85: definition of _ffs in /usr/lib32/libnsl.so preempts that
definition in /usr/lib32/mips4/libc.so.
ld32: WARNING 134: weak definition of ffs in /usr/lib32/libnsl.so preempts that
weak definition in /usr/lib32/mips4/libc.so.
ld32: WARNING 85: definition of _dial in /usr/lib32/libnsl.so preempts that
definition in /usr/lib32/mips4/libc.so.
ld32: WARNING 134: weak definition of dial in /usr/lib32/libnsl.so preempts that
weak definition in /usr/lib32/mips4/libc.so.
...
this continues on for a while with various inline functions in libnsl and libc
until ld32 quits after 50 warnings which reference only lines 85 and 134.
After ld32 quits, the rest of make dies because it is trying to reference
symbols from the libs that it was trying to link previously.
