5.2.1 fails 5 tests: SGI Indigo-2 IRIX 6.2 gcc -O2

[Harry George]

I can't speak to those particular errors, but can give some related
data points:

I had python 1.5.2, numpy, and PyXML compiled via gcc 2.95.2 under
irix 6.5 but was never able to get it visible to irix 6.2.  So I fully
recompiled using sgi's own cc, and can now run on either 6.2 or 6.5.

[I had built the gcc from sources, instead of using the "freeware"
install mechanism.]
