I stand corrected. I was speaking from experiences this summer. The parallel make issues appear to be resolved now, which is excellent!
Jason, can you add -j3 to the make arguments for the IRIX buildslaves? That should bring the compile time down to ~21 minutes and the overall build time to under 30 min.
