Xerces-C++ uses GNU autotools as a build environment for UNIX-like system.
So it seems that they don't support Irix very well, probably because not
many people use/have access to it. So if you want to take it further, then
the best place would probably be the automake mailing list.

The other thing you may want to try is to make sure you have the xargs
utility installed. That's what is normally used to deal with long argument
lists.
