The module passed on Solaris, failed on FreeBSD, and failed to even
build on Irix:
cc-1077 cc: ERROR File = mma_alloc.c, Line = 216
The indicated declaration has no storage class or type specifier.
inline int mma_alloc_mask(void) {return sizeof(union mem_chunk_mc_u)-1;}

inline is a C99-ism. SGI's compiler is C89 by default - you need to cc
-c99 to make it understand stuff like that (and I have no idea how to do
that when building XS, or even whether it's a good idea - the binaries
resulting might not be compatible with a perl built with plain old cc
for all I know).
As a workaround, you could do something like ...
#if defined(_SGIAPI) || defined( __sgi )
#define inline 1;
#endif
or whatever the syntax is for making inline into a null-op. Or you
could turn mma_alloc_mask into a macro so it gets inlined without the
inline keyword.
Note that if you release another version, I don't normally report build
failures. It can't be done reliably enough to automate. If you want me
to check that any new version builds, let me know and I'll check manually.
