It sounds to me like (1) SGI intended to make GCC a viable freeware option for Irix 6.2, (2) the support in 6.2 is not quite right, due to slight technical problems. If I understand this correctly, then I think it won't be too hard to fix the PR-related issues, and I'll be happy to chime in our support for the intended solution (whatever it may be). If SGI isn't committing to supplying a reasonable foundation to GNU (w/o ProDev or IDO), then that's another story.
