Do you need the C++ interface?

I think the last line above is the first problem encountered by the
configure script because the header-file /usr/include/stdlib.h exists on
IRIX64 6.5 systems.  The corresponding lines in the file "config.status"
are the following:

    configure:2740: checking for stdlib.h
    configure:2750: /bin/cc -64 -E -DNDEBUG conftest.c >/dev/null =
    2>conftest.out
    configure: failed program was:
    #line 2745 "configure"
    #include "confdefs.h"
    #include <stdlib.h>

The file "conftest.out" is then checked by the configure-script for
error messages.

Let's execute that test manually.  Please send me the output from the
following commands:

    echo '#include <stdlib.h>' >conftest.c
    /bin/cc -64 -E -DNDEBUG conftest.c >/dev/null
