My C++ is rather sad to non-existant, but to me that would appear that 
"operator" already exists under IRIX.
Suppose you were to change lines 131 & 132 so that operator[] became 
operator_[] and then attempt a recompile.

If it appears to succeed past that point, then it may be that operator 
needs to be redefined as operator_ for Aspell to compile under IRIX.

operator appears in a lot of files:
grep -r -l 'operator' aspell-0.60.2

if operator_ meets with success, then it may be that the  other 3 
variables need to be redefined as well so that:
back becomes back_,
have becomes have_,
add becomes add_,

grep -r -l 'back' aspell-0.60.2
grep -r -l 'have' aspell-0.60.2
grep -r -l 'add' aspell-0.60.2

I hope that helps.
If these have success, can you file a bug report and fix at sourceforge 
so that it can be entered into aspell?

I am unsure about the errors at this point, hopefully someone else has 
an answer.
