I'm afraid keeping irix-specific things working needs some help from
irix users (if there still are any?). Current libdir settings were added
in 2015, and according to wikipedia, latest (and last) irix release was
in 2006. Let's leave as is for now; at some point, it should be deleted.

I think sparc* should be fine on solaris, as I understand it, 32-bit
stuff is always in .../lib, and 64-bit always in .../lib64. Linux
and bsd on sparc might be different, but on the other hand, sparc32-bit
sparc is really obscure now.
Keep in mind that this logic to tweak default libdir is intended to
protect from a plain "./configure && make && make check && make install"
overwriting an existing 32-bit library with a 64-bit library, or vice
versa, which could break a lot of installed executables. But it doesn't
aim to cover all systems; for unusual or obscure systems the user has to
set libdir manually, of the autoconf default of ${exec_prefix}/lib isn't
right.
