I'm guessing libraries off the top of my head... pity. I suppose I could see
if I could do a test compile at -32 here, since otherwise _if_ there is a
difference in results (if there isn't, it means something with 5.9.x _is_
(or at least _was_) going right with usemallocwrap, since your IRIX 6.2
machine was doing those without, apparently, that particular problem), it's
going to be difficult to tell whether it's an IRIX 6.2 difference or a -32
vs -n32 difference, but we really aren't set up for -32 compliations
here. (The case is similar for -mips3 vs -mips4, but that one appears less
likely to be key.) I will instead, when one of the current runs finishes,
try one for 5.9.x, unless your 6.2 box gets finished first and says that
isn't the way to go.

Thanks! I can now report some preliminary results for a machine capable only
of -32/-n32, smoking 23430:
Started smoke at 1099090195
Configuration: -Dusedevel -Accflags='-DDEBUGGING -mips4' -DDEBUGGING -Duseperlio
-Uusemallocwrap
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Compiler info: cc -n32 version MIPSpro Compilers: Version 7.3.1.3m
TSTENV = stdio u=26.58 s=7.69 cu=1698.61 cs=201.45 scripts=845 tests=87619
All tests successful.
TSTENV = perlio u=28.63 s=7.59 cu=1704.05 cs=195.12 scripts=845 tests=87619
All tests successful.

Unable to make anything but miniperl in this configuration

TSTENV = stdio
and that's where it is running currently - no problems so far, or at least
not panic-variety ones (it's into main perl testing right now). So it looks
like -Dusemallocwrap with -n32 does not work on IRIX 6.5 (specifically
6.5.20m with 7.3.1.3m compilers), whether or not the machine is capable of
-64.
