2.96.7 builds using MIPSpro compilers on Irix 6.5.22m and things that 
broke with pdftex-1.20a-rc6 are working.  Something odd in configure 
(lines wrapped for clarity):

configure:3539: checking for T1_AddFont in -lt1
configure:3558: c99 -o conftest -mips4 -g -O2 -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 \ 
-I/usr/local/include -mips4 -g -O2 \
-rpath /san/projects/TeX/lib/mips-sgi-irix6.5:/usr/Motif-2.1/lib32 \
-L/san/projects/TeX/lib/mips-sgi-irix6.5 conftest.c -lt1 -lz -lm  1>&5
                                          ==========

So similar tests but the source file either before or after the
libraries!  This problem has been around for a while, and gcc
behaves the same (no surprise -- on Irix gcc uses SGI ld).
