I have no way to test SGI, but I wonder if this bug is still valid given its age.
Comment 2 Gary Benson 2014-09-15 09:37:21 UTC 
The GDB project is planning on removing support for the following
platforms:
  - MIPS IRIX (mips*-sgi-irix5*, mips*-sgi-irix6*)
  - Alpha Tru64 (alpha*-*-osf*)
...
Our process for removing
a platform is fairly fast by internet standards: If no one steps up,
we will send this notice to gdb-announce a week from now. And then
declare the removal a week after that.

Thanks for the remind Gary.  I am closing this as OBSOLETE then.
