I tried to build Allegro from scratch using this sequence of commands :

export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@xxxxxxxxxx
cvs login
<type enter for blank password>
cvs co allegro
cd allegro/
autoconf
./configure --disable-shared --enable-static
gmake depend
gmake

and it compiles successfully, without even try to compile
src/i386/icsprite.c

Some notices :

I'm not able to compile shared allegro lib on IRIX, so that's why I typed
./configure --disable-shared --enable-static. Using gmake (GNU make) is
recommended (it's simply better), but if you don't have it - no problem,
it works even with IRIX's make.

Have a nice day.
